NBA rescinds flagrant foul by Magic's Anthony Johnson
TweetPublished: Tue, May 26, 2009 @ 1:57 p.m.
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — The NBA has rescinded the flagrant foul against Orlando Magic guard Anthony Johnson for elbowing Cleveland's Mo Williams in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals.
Magic coach Stan Van Gundy said after the team's shootaround Tuesday he was glad the league took back the call.
Johnson drove the lane and extended his elbow in the second quarter of the Magic's victory Sunday. Williams was struck around the left eye and knocked to the floor.
Williams was called for a blocking foul, and Johnson was whistled for a flagrant foul. Williams' bleeding, puffy eye needed four stitches. He called the play a cheap shot.
The Magic lead the Cavaliers 2-1 in the best-of-seven series. Game 4 is tonight at 8:30 on TNT.

That is some crap! It is just a mistake my behind. I mean he was cought with his hand in the cookie jar! To give someone 2 cuts, 1 above the eye, and 1 below the eye isn't a oops foul. That was out the door when D.Howard throws bows for fun! But hey what can you do. I mean the ref's still take bribs so fix games. It is very woody cut and dry!
