QUESTION: What was explanation for the fifth foul called on Chris Paul and the Suns unsuccessful challenge?
FITZGERALD: Chris Paul veers into the path of the defender without giving him the opportunity to avoid contact so that is why it is an offensive foul.
QUESTION: What is the explanation for the sixth foul called on Chris Paul?
FITZGERALD: As Brunson jumps to get the rebound Chris Paul grabs his right wrist causing him to lose his balance in the air and fall backwards.

Chris Paul got called for some of the fouls he usually gets away with because he is Chris Paul. I've never seen them call a foul for veering in front of a defender before. And that sneaky little arm grab? Glad to see him pay the price. If he was all that smart, he would have joined the Mavs in Dirk's prime. He might have a ring by now.
It would be nice if the Mavs were the team that kept him from ever being a champion.
