Thought Yiğitoğlu was about to get called for a foul, as Nikita Konstantynovskyi hit the deck pretty hard. Replayed shows he flung himself to the floor while wrestling Yiğitoğlu for space in the low post and got called for the foul.

But then Yiğitoğlu gets a Flagrant 1 for contact to head. Contact seemed light, and Konstantynovskyi waited an hour or two before dramatically flailing to the floor. Theater major?

[PonyPride]

Nothing if not efficient: Konstantynovskyi picks up his third foul in 7 minutes
