Dubs fans react to Ja's apparent double dribble, travel on same play originally appeared on NBC Sports Bayarea
NBA fans expected Christmas Day fireworks between the Warriors and Grizzlies in their first meeting since last season's Western Conference semifinals, and the teams delivered just that.
They combined for seven technical fouls, including six on the Warriors and Jordan Poole's fourth-quarter ejection. As a result, fans' attention centered on the referees during Golden State's 123-109 win at Chase Center.
Warriors fans took to Twitter to point out the refs' inconsistency, including them missing an apparent double dribble and three-step travel by Grizzlies star Ja Morant ... on the same play.
Dub Nation wasn't having it.
Gather. Then left, which is the pivot. Then right, which is the nonpivot. Then he returns the left foot, the pivot foot, to the floor. Travel.
