Antetokounmpo’s terrible rant about the refereeing – They recognized the mistake that the referees judged the match

For the second match in a row, the referees charged Giannis Antetokounmpo with a non-existent foul in the last seconds. And if the day before yesterday against the Pistons, Ron Holland was 0/2 from the line giving the Bucks the chance to win in overtime with 59 points from the Greek Freak, on Saturday night LaMelo Ball had 2/2 shots after a foul that was not his ever happened Milwaukee did not have a challenge, as it had spent it earlier, with the referees admitting their mistake, but… after a holiday, after the Bucks had lost the match with 115-114.

“On the live stream of the game, Giannis was charged for contact (foot to foot) with LaMelo Ball driving toward the basket. We saw the phase after the end of the match and there was no foul, no contact” was the statement of the first referee of the match, Curtis Blair, who was asked if the decision would be changed in case there was a challenge from the Bucks and he answered “correctly».

Antetokounmpo, in his statements after the match, avoided standing for the referee in order not to be fined. “I have been in the league for so many years. This is my 12th year. The first rule is don’t waste your money and the second rule is don’t forget the first rule. So I won’t comment further on it“, he emphasized.

Bucks coach Doc Rivers, on the other hand, didn’t hold back. “The referee made a sea of ​​them. Second match in a row with a wrong whistle in the last phase. LaMelo Ball is down. It just fell to the floor. There was no player near him. He slipped on his own. We would have possession, the match would be over“, he said.
