“I guess it’s part of the game, right?” he asked, letting the rhetorical question hang in the air as he followed up with a wry smile indicating that he actually felt as though the play was anything other than a rote part of the game.
Sitting in the interview room at Vivint Arena on Saturday night, clad in an oversize puffy coat and gingerly cradling his swollen right elbow, he wanted to convey his displeasure with the referees he felt had failed to protect him, while not being so demonstrative as to incur a sizable fine from the NBA watchdogs who penalize outspoken vilification of their game officials.
As Clarkson lost not only the ball but directional control, his body now tilting backwards, his torso collided with that of oncoming Portland behemoth Jusuf Nurkic, who was likewise shifting off Vanderbilt in a belated attempt to make a play at the rim. The resulting cross-body check sent Clarkson to the ground, where he landed hard on his back and arm.
“Yeah, that should have been two. I should have gotten thrown out,” Hardy lamented postgame. “That play was gross. I’m happy that Jordan’s not hurt. Not that it was a dirty play — I don’t think there was any intent for it to be dirty — but when a guy goes up in the air and [in the end] lands on his back going for a dunk, you would hope that that one gets called. But again, that’s life in the NBA.”
