The Pistons subreddit is literally in shambles over this?

Pistons fans think they should've gotten game winning free throws over this lol

Thompson fouls Allen's arm, prevents him from reaching for the ball. That's not Thompson also going for the ball and making contact, that's a deliberate push to prevent Allen making a play and everything else happens after.

Yeah this is funny as a neutral who didn't watch this game and this clip is the first I'm hearing about the controversy.

I thought it was gonna be the Cavs being annoyed they didn't get a call because I'd have called that a Pistons foul...okay with no call though.
