Paul brought up the ball to the half-court, where Fox picked him up. Instead of trying to beat him off the dribble, Paul decided to take advantage of Fox’s overzealous defense on him, causing him to pick up another foul.

Fox was evidently unhappy with the call as he gestured hilariously that Paul had flopped in order to get the call in his favor. He then seemed to lay some trash talk on the veteran point guard before the two got back to the game.
Fox may have been calling Paul out for flopping whereas Chris Paul, a master of drawing fouls might just have been doing what he does best.
