Ryan Anderson was on the receiving end of a pretty questionable call Tuesday night.

Late in the first half of the victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves, the New Orleans Pelicans forward was hit in the face by veteran Kevin Garnett's forearm - after which Anderson was inexplicably hit with a foul call.

The referees reviewed the play and confirmed the call on Anderson, who expressed his obvious displeasure after the game.

"Obviously he was doing little tactics to get me frustrated," Anderson said, according to NBA.com's Brett Martel. "He's just really good at getting away with stuff like that. I'm not saying he's like a ridiculously dirty player. He just has that physical type of game."
