Immediately after the game, Steve Kerr acknowledged that he hadn't seen a replay yet but that in real time, "It just looked like a normal foul where a guy is in transition -- you want to foul him and take away the fastbreak and obviously he went down hard and sold it pretty well."
Klay Thompson said that the foul "probably warranted a Flagrant-1."
