Israeli NBA player Deni Avdija and his team, the Portland Trail Blazers, faced the Utah Jazz on Saturday. Early in the second quarter, Jazz players became incensed with the officiating crew after two consecutive fouls were called on Avdija. On the first instance, Avdija drove to the basket for a post-up move, drawing a foul from Utah's center Jackson Hayes. Hayes argued with the referee, claiming the play was clean and that Avdija flopped, despite committing the foul. Avdija made both free throws. Shortly after, the Jazz lost possession, leading to a fast break for the Blazers. During the ensuing play, Avdija again drove to the paint and clearly drew a foul from Svi Mykhailiuk. As Avdija was sent to the free-throw line once more, Hayes again expressed his anger towards the officials. This time, Avdija responded by signaling to the referees to initiate a challenge, implying they should review the call.
