Chicago Bulls' Derrick Jones Jr. disputes flagrant foul on Bucks' Grayson Allen

CHICAGO -- Fans at United Center may have reveled in Bulls forward Derrick Jones Jr.'s flagrant foul on Milwaukee Bucks guard Grayson Allen on Friday night, but Jones insisted afterward that the foul was not intentional and denied being a dirty player.

Jones was given a flagrant foul 1 in the fourth quarter after delivering a hip check while trying to defend Allen on a drive to the basket and hitting Allen in the face with his elbow.

Jones said he was simply trying to "get a stop."

"That's all that goes through my head," Jones said after the game.
