Pacers-Hawks

There was interesting foul situation during tonight's Pacers-Hawks game. From the Associated Press: "...D.J. Augustin, who had 10 points, drove to the basket and the officials spend eight minutes reviewing the play to determine that Horford committed a flagrant foul on the play and Augustin was called for a technical."



Essentially, DJ drove to the rim, elbowed his defender (offensive foul), and then got hammered by Horford. The end result was ATL shooting 1 technical free-throw, the Pacers shooting 2 for the shooting foul, and getting the ball. All in all, a very weird situation. Anyone have any idea why it was penalized this way?
