NBA reverses course after laughable technical foul to Jayson Tatum

It was a shockingly small reaction from Tatum get tagged with a technical. It was a single clap, and not even particularly directed at anyone besides himself. 

Tuesday, the NBA agreed.

The league reversed the call after reviewing the footage. Though they might have been embarrassed into the move by everyone laughing at them.

Durant doesn't mince words on Twitter, and he didn't hold back here either. Can you get fined for criticizing the officiating of a game you didn't play in?

Tatum also laughed about it when he talked to reporters after the game.

"Anybody in the arena, anybody watching the game, could have seen I was frustrated with myself," Tatum told reporters. "I didn’t say anything, I didn’t look at him. So, after the game, you can just laugh it off when you see it."

It's fortunate for Tatum that the technical got reversed because it would have been his fourth of the season, and put him on pace to exceed 16 on the season — which is an automatic suspension. And suspensions are no laughing matter.
