The Thunder could have, ya know, not fouled him. Especially at the end, lots of intentional fouls (on Embiid) to try to come back. That is not super obvious in the box scores for all you box score warriors, though.

Watched the game, 6 free throws came off of intentionally fouling. 15 free throws is still a crazy amount. Obviously some were actual fouls but come on dude. This man is how big and strong and you really gonna defend his flailing around and crying for fouls?

I watched the game and didn't see him flailing or crying for fouls. He was just attacking the basket. Also the refs don't call fouls based on how many they called previously, a foul is a foul.

Is 15 really a crazy amount for a super high usage star center going against a team playing a PF at the 5?
