This isn't foul baiting, but it's closer to an offensive foul than a defensive one.

Tucker does take a step, but Giannis is also the one creating all the contact. Giannis is intentionally barreling into Tucker, as he does on a lot of drives.

It should be a no-call. Another call liked this happened this game, but it got overturned after a review. The other one should have probably been an offensive foul.

Can you explain your reasoning? You said Giannis intentionally barreled into Tucker. Then you said it should be a no call. If he intentionally barrels into the defender, it should be an offensive foul, no?

some guys can absorb the contact better then others. you cant punish an offensive player because they are stronger then their defender.
