What happened: Johnson took the rebound at its high point. Spencer held position underneath instead of yielding landing space.

Why it matters: Landing-space fouls decide possession and reset half-court defense. The whistle stops play before further contact under the glass.

What to watch: Watch whether Johnson stays in the rotation after the fall.
