With five minutes left in the fourth quarter the game was close, so close in fact, every call, bucket, foul, and second mattered. While fighting for a rebound Domantas Sabonis would fall down and inadvertently grab Draymond Green’s foot. Green would respond by stomping on his chest, injuring Sabonis, receiving a flagrant two foul and automatic ejection from the game. One thing I liked about this article is they go in depth about why Green might have done what he did and discussing if whether or not Sabonis should receive some flack for grabbing his leg. I also like the idea they brought up of challenging flagrant foul calls and giving there side of the story. 

 Blog I’m critiquing:  https://www.sbnation.com/nba/2023/4/18/23687191/austin-reaves-lakers-vs-grizzlies-nba-playoffs-video-im-him Austin Reaves grew up in Cedar Ridge, Arkansas. There he was a star in high school, played well enough to receive a D-1 scholarship offer to Wichita State. He would then transfer to Oklahoma before declaring for the NBA draft. Sadly, Reaves would go undrafted but would later be signed to a free agent deal by the Los Angeles Lakers. Ever since then, Reaves has showed out being a key part to the lakers success averaging 19 points per game when starting and leading there team to a win in the NBA playoffs over the Memphis Grizzlies. One thing I love about this article is how they used “Him” in the title because anyone who watched the game would here Reaves yell this to the fans after hitting a clutch bucket. I also like the phrase finding a gem in the rough because 60 people were chosen over Austin Reaves and probably thirty actually play in this league and out
