The incident unfolded after a stellar defensive sequence where Hart secured a rebound following an errant three-point attempt by Tobias Harris. As Hart scrambled for control, he became entangled with Pistons star Cade Cunningham, who was visibly frustrated with the officiating. The chaos escalated when Schroeder, confused by the on-court dynamics, shouted at Hart, convinced he was the culprit behind the alleged toss. In reality, it was the referee who had initiated the ball’s movement, not Hart.
