The Foul That Could've Changed Everything

Victor Wembanyama just caught a massive break. The NBA admitted it missed a foul call when Wemby shoved Jalen Brunson in Game 3 of the NBA Finals — but the league will NOT upgrade it to a flagrant. Had it been called, it would've been his third strike of the playoffs, putting him one flag away from an automatic suspension. This all stems from the playoff flagrant point system — four strikes means you're done for a game. Wemby is already sitting on two strikes after his ejection for elbowing Naz Reid in the Western Conference Semis. Now the big question: does this missed call change how physical this series gets from here on out? #NBAFinals #Wembanyama #KnicksVsSpurs #NBAPlayoffs #JalenBrunson
