By the time the referee is in a position to notice Thibodeau, he is not signaling a timeout and play moves up the court.
- 0:00:03.200000 Foul: Offensive Incorrect non-callKarl-Anthony Towns on Paul George
While contact is hard, this is a close play in transition. Multiple angles show Towns (MIN) establishes a screening position in George’s (OKC) path before the contact and he absorbs the contact when it occurs. However, his stance is wide and contact occurs to his leg area, which makes the screen illegal.
