The NBA has most recently battled back against the "flopping allegations," and this most recent trend, if that's what it is and if it continues, is only going to give the league's PR machine that much more work to do moving forward. Assuming that is accurate, and that people are watching basketball mainly through clips and tidbits now, they're going to see a viral clip of this type of foul-baiting and immediately going to think this is the norm across the league. Thankfully, the game ended in the most absurd way possible, in which the Knicks blew a huge lead during the final few minutes, because if that hadn't happened, there was a chance that this clip was going to be one of the most memorable moments from this game.
