Although this play seemed like a hand foul, the referee still didn't call it. After making an exaggerated gesture, the referee awarded the ball to the Nuggets.
Thompson helplessly spread his hands, while Cole continued to harass the referee from the sideline. He was full of anger, continuously complaining to the referee, his hands waving in the air.
The fans at the Pepsi Center in Denver were roaring.
"Oh oh, it's so fascinating, a top-notch attack and defense showdown."
"The Nuggets are surprisingly fierce."
"I just love watching games like this, it's so exciting."
"That block was beautiful, Thompson had no chance of dunking like that."
"The referee is fair, haha, no calls like that."
"This year's playoffs are truly entertaining."
The fans were discussing fervently, faces filled with excitement.
Despite the rapid pace of offense and defense from both sides, the intensity was high, which made the score not very high.
