Jeff Teague’s hand contacted Nemanja Bjelica’s face last night. What would you call that?
According the Last Two Minute Report of last night’s Hawks-Timberwolves game: “Punching.”
Per the NBA officiating review:
Teague (ATL) makes contact with Bjelica (MIN) after the rebound. The contact is being reviewed by Basketball Operations.
If the league already called it punching, it’s probably only a matter of time until Teague gets suspended and/or fined.
