With around six seconds remaining in the second quarter, Christian Braun committed a strategic foul on James Harden. Denver had a foul to give, so the idea was to force the Clippers to inbound the ball again and try to get a shot off against a set defense. Harden, for reasons that are unclear, was not happy with what Braun did.

Clippers guard James Harden, and Nuggets center Nikola Jokic were among six players hit with technical fouls during Game 4.
