For the action, KD received a technical foul, but according to the rules, he would have actually have to be referenced by the field, as well as Refere Sean Wright admitted after the game. That s a significant thing that can not just slip out, Pacers Coach Rick Carlisle complained.

Durant showed himself after the game clearly: I tried to meet the backboard, but I should not have throw, but I do not know what I thought of. Probably I thought, I would be alone in the hall or at a pickup game and not in an NBA game. I can not do that, that could have cost my team the victory. That will not happen again.
