On April 4th, the Golden State Warriors avoided a costly penalty for a mistake made by their star player, Stephen Curry. During a game against the Phoenix Suns, Curry mistakenly called a timeout even though his team did not have possession of the ball. This mistake could have resulted in a technical foul, which would have been an expensive penalty for the Warriors.
The incident occurred when Curry was attempting to call a timeout after the Suns had taken possession of the ball. However, the referees ruled that Curry had not called the timeout before the Suns had possession and thus the Warriors were not penalized. The referees determined that Curry had not called the timeout in time and thus the Warriors were able to avoid a costly technical foul.
This incident is a reminder of how important it is for players to be aware of the rules of the game. In this case, Curry’s mistake could have cost his team a technical foul and possibly even a loss. It is important for players to understand the rules of the game and be aware of when they can and cannot call a timeout.
The Warriors were lucky to avoid a costly penalty for Curry’s mistake, but it is important for all players to be aware of the rules of the game. Knowing the rules can help players avoid mistakes that could cost their team dearly.
