When Bridges jumped to make a dunk, Bronny\u2019s shoulder slightly pushed him, causing Bridges to hit the floor. The referees reviewed the play and gave Bronny his first flagrant foul of his NBA career.<\/p>\n<p>However, James, who was watching the game from the bench, felt that the foul called on his son was not justified. After the referees gave the flagrant foul, James approached them and asked for a full explanation.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-kevin-durant-s-epic-three-word-response-on-blocking-bronny-james\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Kevin Durant\u2019s Epic Three-Word Response on Blocking Bronny James<\/h2>\n<p>During the game at the Footprint Center, basketball fans witnessed an exciting moment in the fourth quarter.

However, Durant was called for a foul on James\u2019 double-pump layup attempt.<\/p>\n<p>The crowd at the Suns\u2019 arena erupted in protest, firmly believing that it was a clean block. Suns head coach Mike Budenholzer challenged the decision in an attempt to reverse the call, but unfortunately, the challenge was unsuccessful.
