Technical Foul, bench player throws towel on court Legal Reaction, Heat of the Moment reaction Legal, Bench stands briefly to celebrate
“This is an example of a reaction that DOES NOT exceed the Respect for the Game guidelines. Following the foul, the defensive player, Nikola Jokic, reacts briefly to the call, but his reaction is not overt, and it dissolves almost immediately. This is a LEGAL heat of the moment reaction, and no Technical Foul would be assessed here. Players are allowed to react to calls with which they disagree, provided the reaction is not disrespectful or prolonged.”
