At that critical juncture, Kings coach Doug Christie reportedly instructed one of his players to intentionally foul Seth Curry without any apparent strategic reason. Following this unusual stoppage, the Kings ultimately lost the game 105-110, further fueling suspicions of deliberate losing.

The league's investigation aims to crack down on this practice of intentionally losing games, which is subject to significant penalties.

Warriors player Draymond Green called for strict action: "What should be done? Keep fining the teams."
