The Utah Jazz already had a tough enough task at hand facing the Houston Rockets in the Western Conference semifinals. But having calls go against them by the refs certainly didn’t help matters.
Dante Exum was called for three fouls early in the first half of Game 3 on Sunday. The third foul, which was called while he was guarding James Harden, was certainly a head-scratcher.

If there was a foul committed by Exum on that play, I certainly didn’t see it.
Exum was looking like one of Utah’s best offensive weapons in the game, as he was 4-for-5 with nine points in the early going. Having him in foul trouble so early in the game certainly didn’t help.
