This has drawn polarizing reactions across the league. Even Curry himself has reacted to the incident saying that he completely disagrees with the call. Warriors head coach Steve Kerr echoed his superstar's thoughts, emphasizing how this call will have a lasting impact on the rest of the NBA for the rest of the season.

This highly-controversial incident has now drawn a truth bomb from NBA insider Shams Charania. The renowned league insider revealed how officials appear to be clamping down on this particular violation of late:

“Going into the season, it was really bench decorum and the palming violation,” Shams said. “
