On the first play, Durant fouled James, leading the Cavs star to lose control of the ball and fall out of bounds. The second instance even drew criticism from the ABC announcers as James was fouled once on his initial drive, and again at the rim.
UPDATE: The NBA confirmed Tuesday evening in its last-two-minutes report that Durant did indeed foul James three times in the game’s closing seconds. The outcome won’t change, but the confirmation will give fans something to discuss in the following days. It also adds just a little more intrigue to the Cavs-Warriors matchups moving forward.
Several NBA players agreed, saying Durant got away with several fouls.
