one defender was. Not for long, but it created the space. The other defender should have made the tackle still. But an advantage was created by running alongside his team mate. Obstructing a player in the process.
The decoy runner ran through a hole and didn't touch anyone. The ball carrier did not run behind the decoy runner. The defender (#6) made no attempt whatsoever to effect a tackle on either the ball carrier or the decoy runner, and then attempted to milk a penalty by waving his arms around in the air when he still had the opportunity to tackle the ball carrier.

Pretty much. The defense was disadvantaged so it's obstruction.

Water under the bridge though, it's been a typical NYC game.

The warriors aren't just out of gas, they're out of oil, brake fluid, windscreen wash and coolant too.

He couldn't get a clear shot at the bloke with the ball in hand because there was a player in between them. That player was obstructing him from a genuine attempt . only for a moment, but that moment created the space
