On April 19, the Warriors played the Clippers in Game 1 of the West Quarterfinals. There was a play where Chris Paul had the ball, was contacted by the Warriors and lost the ball out of bounds. I wrote on April 21 how the new replay rules have screwed up the unwritten rule of giving the ball back to the team who had the ball in lieu of calling a foul on the defense.
Well, last night, the Thunder had the ball and was contacted by the Clippers and lost he ball out of bounds. I didn't watch the game live so I don't know how the replay was handled. Today Will Leitch wrote about how the unwritten rule may not be the correct call but it is the right call, echoing what I wished had happened last month. Worth noting that the two plays were called differently, both going against the Clippers.
