Jose Calderon was a game best +29 in the Hawks 111-101 win over the Washington Wizards on Monday night to even the first round playoff series at 2-2. His surprising and desperately needed performance was the result of Dennis Schroder picking up his third personal foul with 2:29 remaining in the first quarter.
But what you probably don’t know (and I didn’t until I re-watched the game to chart it) was that the third foul on Schroder very well might not have happened had Marcin Gortat not had some sort of issue with a sneaker.
