A flagrant could have been called for the play — Sefolosha possibly appears to raise his leg unnaturally as he collides with Nurkic. But, instead, the officials assessed a personal foul and a technical foul to Sefolosha.
Damian Lillard hit the technical free throw to cut the Utah lead to four, 103-99, but the Blazers ultimately lost, 112-103.
