NBA clears Sacramento Kings of tanking allegations in loss to Warriors
The NBA cleared Doug Christie of tanking accusations levied at the Sacramento Kings coach after he instructed his team to intentionally foul Seth Curry in the fourth quarter of the Kings’ loss to the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night.The coaching decision — in which Christie directed Kings guard Doug McDermott to foul Curry with 3:15 left in the game and put the Warriors guard on the line for two free throws as a result — sparked a social media firestorm in which the Kings were accused, by fans and media members alike, of blatantly tanking. The Warriors’ Draymond Green escalated the situation after the Warriors’ 110-105 win when he criticized Christie’s move and claimed it was further proof of the NBA’s tanking dilemma. The league, in turn, launched an investigation into the matter.Advertisementالمصدر: The Athletic | Source: The Athletic
