Thought Yi─ƒito─ƒlu 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 Yi─ƒito─ƒlu for space in the low post and got called for the foul.

But then Yi─ƒito─ƒlu 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
