Detroit News journalist Coty Davis sat down with Crew Chief Brian Forte to discuss the heated incident involving Cade Cunningham during last night’s Thunder at Pistons game. Here are the key takeaways from their conversation:
Cunningham was given his first technical foul for using profanity towards an official after being assessed a free throw for his initial infraction. The verbal outburst led to his second technical foul, resulting in his ejection.
Meanwhile, point guard Dennis Schröder received a technical foul of his own for continuous complaining to the officials after Detroit was given a team warning in the second period.
The incident began with Isaiah Stewart being called for a loose ball foul on Jaylin Williams during a rebound. This led to Jaylin Williams being awarded two free throws, which was revealed by Crew Chief Brian Forte as the initial call against Isaiah Stewart at the :47.5 mark.
