During the victory over the Timberwolves, New Orleans Pelicans guard Jose Alvarado was called for a foul and his teammates didn’t like the call.
The guard was defending Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards and he was called for a foul as the wing drove toward the lane. Alvarado didn’t appear to make illegal contact with Edwards but it didn’t matter.
Perhaps nobody had a better view of the possession than Pelicans ace defender Herb Jones, who was standing nearby when the call was made. After the call, hot mics picked up Jones complaining to the referees about their decision.

Fortunately, it didn’t cause any problems for the Pelicans and they were able to continue to earn a convincing victory over the Timberwolves.
