Patrick Beverley mocked Chris Paul for seemingly flopping during Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals on Monday night.

Beverley was trying to fight through a pick from Deandre Ayton in the third quarter. Paul ended up cutting under Beverley and falling to the court.

The officials reviewed the play and actually called Beverley for a Flagrant 1 foul, and Paul was given three free throws. The Phoenix Suns guard made all three attempts to cut the Clippers’ lead to six at 71-65.

Beverley was later shown apparently apologizing to Paul. Beverley did not seem to realize that Paul legitimately fell after their collision.
