The NBA's new rule regarding offensive fouls resulted in two consecutive technical fouls being called on Portland's Ja Morant and Deni Avdija during a game between the Portland Trail Blazers and the Los Angeles Lakers. The controversial calls occurred with four minutes remaining in the game, contributing to a dramatic finish where Avdija's team secured a significant victory.
The first technical foul was called on Morant after Austin Reaves' attempted three-pointer missed. The play was stopped, and a foul was assessed on Morant, leading to one free throw. This was followed immediately by a similar call involving Avdija. After a successful three-point shot by Damian Lillard, Ziaire Williams, who was guarding Avdija, was called for an offensive foul. This resulted in another technical foul and a free throw, totaling four points from the sequence.
The article highlights these moments as part of the league's new regulations, emphasizing that the fouls were called only after the plays concluded. A video clip of the incidents was provided.
