“This is an example of a defensive foul for illegal contact between the dribbler and his defender. The on-ball defender, OG Anunoby, initiates contact, placing both hands on the dribbler, Giannis Antetokounmpo. This contact affects the dribbler’s rhythm as he starts to drive toward the basket, and it is a defensive foul. On-ball defenders cannot affect an opponent’s speed, quickness, balance or rhythm.”
