The physicality was an all-time high between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Golden State Warriors in Game 3 of their NBA Playoffs second-round series on Saturday night. Early in the game, Dubs stud Moses Moody was whistled for a flagrant foul for pulling down Anthony Davis in what has been deemed as a “dirty” play.
The means streets of Twitter weren’t at all pleased by how Moody could have very easily caused an injury to Davis on this dangerous play:

Depending on which part of the fence you’re sitting on, the reaction to this play could go both ways. Lakers fans clearly aren’t happy with what they consider a “dirty” play by Moody that forced Davis to hit the deck — a sight that’s always a cause for concern for the LA faithful. Warriors supporters, however, don’t see it the same way, with most of them claiming that it wasn’t even intentional.
Dubs veteran Andre Iguodala, who himself was recently cleared for basketball activities and could potentially return for Golden State soon, made his case with the game official after Moody was called for a Flagrant 1:

The important thing here is that all players have come out of this incident unscathed. Davis looked fine after the play and he was able to carry on and help the Lakers mount a strong second-quarter comeback after going down double digits. This has been a game of runs, and there’s just that feeling that this one will go down the wire.
