And the Warriors?
Sorry, only 4 times.
And most deadly of all...
Due to successive foul crises, only Qin Yue was able to defend normally among the Warriors' defensive trinity entering the second half.
"This guy clearly doesn't want us to win!"
Brown, having accumulated 4 fouls in just 12 minutes of playing time, complained indignantly, "Does the incompetent league really not want to see us win the championship?"
With the same 4 fouls, Wallace said gloomily, "I didn't even touch Paul, and yet the whistle blew in the opponent's favor. This isn't a normal basketball game at all."
In fact, before heading to face the Celtics, the Warriors players were already mentally prepared to face a road whistle in Boston.
But the level of Joey Crawford's officiating that night greatly shocked the Warriors players.
Especially the unexpected incident in the latter part of the third quarter.
At the time, as Pierce was driving to the basket, he unfortunately tripped over his own team's floor...
