data-end=\"1294\">Grayson Allen<\/strong> was <strong data-start=\"1299\" data-end=\"1310\">ejected<\/strong> from the <strong data-start=\"1320\" data-end=\"1331\">NBA Cup<\/strong> quarterfinal as the <strong data-start=\"1352\" data-end=\"1368\">Phoenix Suns<\/strong> fell 138-89 to the <strong data-start=\"1388\" data-end=\"1413\">Oklahoma City Thunder<\/strong>.<br data-start=\"1414\"

brief skirmish.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1563\" data-end=\"1845\">With the <strong data-start=\"1572\" data-end=\"1592\">Thunder up 94-58<\/strong> and 5:18 left in the third, Allen extended both arms into Holmgren, leading players from both teams to converge in the area.<br data-start=\"1717\" data-end=\"1720\" \/>After review, officials upgraded the action to a <strong data-start=\"1769\" data-end=\"1788\">flagrant foul 2<\/strong>, drawing a loud reaction from the Oklahoma City crowd.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1847\" data-end=\"2208\">Allen finished with <strong data-start=\"1867\" data-end=\"1880\">10 points<\/strong> on 3-of-9 shooting and later said he didn\u2019t believe the contact warranted an ejection, calling it a \u201cgood foul\u201d within the game\u2019s physical tone.<br data-start=\"2025\" data-end=\"2028\" \/>For OKC, <strong data-start=\"2037\" data-end=\"2055\">Jalen Williams<\/strong> said Allen\u2019s move was \u201csomething he\u2019s done his whole career\u201d and that it added \u201cjuice\u201d as the Thunder closed out the <strong data-start=\"2173\" data-end=\"2205\">worst defeat in Suns history<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<blockquote
