During the first half of Thursday’s Western Conference Finals<\/a> game, referees called a flagrant-1 foul on Lakers’ guard D’Angelo Russell.<\/p>\n

Russell was attempting to block Nuggets guard Jamal Murray’s<\/a> layup as he drove to the basket in transition in the first quarter of Game 2 of the Conference Finals.<\/p>\n

Russell\u2019s left arm appeared to make contact with Murray’s face, but it seemed like the Lakers’ guard was trying to hit the basketball.<\/p>\n

After the referees huddled to discuss the play, they ruled that Russell had committed an offense that was worthy of a flagrant 1 foul call.<\/p>\n

The call resulted in two free throw attempts for the Nuggets, both of which were good.<\/p>\n

LEBRON JAMES STUNS NBA WORLD AS HE LOSES BALL ON BREAKAWAY DUNK ATTEMPT<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Los Angeles<\/a> led Denver by three points at time of the foul call, which happened with just under three minutes remaining in the game’s opening quarter.<\/p>\n

LeBron James, who was on the bench at the time, was left in disbelief.<\/p>\n

James was seen mouthing the words “What did he do?”<\/p>\n

Much of the arguments about the play revolved around whether Russell wound up his arm before he made contact with Murray.<\/p>\n

ESPN rules analyst Steve Javie agreed with the officials call, while broadcasters Mark Jackson and Jeff Van Gundy voiced their oppositions about the decision.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, the flagrant foul call sparked a fury of reactions on social media, with some backing the referee’s decision and other questioning whether the correct call was made.<\/p>\n

The often outspoken Golden State Warriors<\/a> forward Draymond Green appeared to categorize the call as “soft.”<\/p>\n

ESPN host Frank Isola pointed out the apparent contact to Russell’s face.<\/p>\n

Former NFL quarterback and current ESPN host Robert Griffin III believed Russell simply committed a “good foul.”<\/p>\n

One Twitter user said Russell was “contesting” Murray’s shot attempt.<\/p>\n

Another Twitter user sided with the referees.<\/p>\n

Regardless of what side of the debate anyone stands on, the questionable call certainly reignited conversations about the differences between a common foul, a flagrant 1 and a flagrant 2 foul.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
