During the fourth quarter of a Sunday night victory over the New Orleans Hornets, Clippers forward Reggie Evans executed an absolutely ridiculous flop after setting a pick on Hornets guard Greivis Vasquez.
Evans set his screen on Vasquez near midcourt and when Vasquez turned to deliver a light forearm to the chest, Evans collapsed backwards and fell to the ground as if he was hit by a train.
The NBA’s officiating crew of Ron Garretson, Bennie Adams, and J.T. Orr totally bit on Evans’ deception, initially ruling the play a Flagrant Foul 2, which would have meant an automatic ejection and potential discipline from the NBA league office for Vasquez. Upon video review, the trio immediately realized they had been suckered and retracted their Flagrant Foul 2 ruling, assessing Vasquez with simply a personal foul.
The Clippers went on to win the game 107-98. Evans finished with 1 point and 4 rebounds in 11 minutes.
