Nikola Mirotic caught Iman Shumpert with a clothesline of sorts in the second quarter of Game 6 between the Bulls and the Cavaliers, and was issued a flagrant-one foul because of it.
The contact to the neck was unnecessary, and the flagrant-one seemed to be the correct call.
Shumpert seemed to be unaffected, and scored his team’s next five points to put the Cavaliers up 47-40 with 4:31 to play in the first half.
