That was Nikola Jokic's first flagrant foul - Category 1 or 2 - in his last 345 games.

I thought this as well, if Jokic's was a Flagrant 2 then why was Draymond's foul on LeBron not even a Flagrant 1? No consistency https://t.co/7p8BC6sMjO

Absolutely ridiculous Jokic got ejected. If series is 2-2 that never happens. Total joke. He didn’t hit Payne with his fist or elbow. He hit him with his bicep! And got ball!

I would've been fine with a flagrant 1 but Jokic ran up to a guy for no reason, wound up, and raked him across the face and body. Suns didn't make the call to eject him. The refs did, because Jokic inexplicably decided to put his fate in their hands
