The New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs are in a tight battle in the fourth quarter of Game 5 of the NBA Finals. The Spurs led the Knicks by seven points after three quarters of play what’s been a physical game both ways.
Knicks fans, however, are upset after their backup center, Mitchell Robinson, was whistled for a foul on Victor Wembanyama that was later reviewed and upgraded to a flagrant foul penalty one.

Fans on social media took exception to the call, thinking it was a little soft to be upgraded to a flagrant foul considering how physical this series has been.
