The NBA is currently investigating a controversial decision made by Sacramento Kings coach Doug Christie during their recent loss to the Golden State Warriors. With just 3:15 left in the game and the Kings up by one point, Christie instructed forward Doug McDermott to foul Warriors star Seth Curry, despite the Kings being in the penalty. This decision raised eyebrows as it allowed Curry, a player with an 86.4% career free throw shooting percentage, to shoot free throws. Sources indicated that the foul call was a strategic error rather than an intentional act of tanking, as Christie misjudged the situation, thinking the Warriors were in the bonus and wanting to save a timeout. The incident has led to discussions about the Kings' coaching decisions and their implications for the team's performance.
