With eight seconds left, Corbin started making technical and disqualifying gestures in response to a Paolo Banchero dunk that made the score 106-114. Everything suggests that there were significant protests or insults that led to the decision as there was no play or violent action involved.

The supporters and the Pelicans bench, led by coach Willie Green, were in shock. Franz Wagner made the next three shots to give the Magic the victory.
