Stephon Castle isn't the first San Antonio Spurs rookie to cement his ROTY case against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
After the 14-point win, Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault said the altercation stemmed from a lack of calls they've received all season. They sit at 29th in the league in free-throw attempts. He also cited a recent example when Williams was elbowed in the head against the Memphis Grizzlies and it didn't get called or reviewed.
Tensions flared Sunday night when three players were ejected from a Thunders-Spurs clash. With Oklahoma City leading by six with a little more than three minutes to play in the third quarter, San Antonio forward Jeremy Sochan skied in for a dunk.
