The NBA silences the Warriors' complaints: there was a foul in the final moments with the Rockets

One can understand that when you see referees allowing numerous contacts against your star, Stephen Curry, you may get very angry for losing a game due to a foul that you interpret as dubious at the end of the match. That's what happened to Steve Kerr, coach of the Golden State Warriors, after watching his team fall in the NBA Cup quarterfinals against the Houston Rockets due to a foul called with 3.5 seconds left in the game.

Jonathan Kuminga and Jalen Green fought for a loose ball on the floor, and the referees called a foul on the Bay player. During the broadcast, it seemed like a simple struggle, and it was surprising that the referees signaled the foul. However, upon watching the replay, it is clear that there was a blatant grab on Green. Is it true that these actions are often not called? It may be. Was there a clear foul on Stephen Curry seconds before in a three-point attempt? Definitely. But for Kerr to come with exaggerated complaints at this stage of the game for an action that is clearly a foul is going over the top. The NBA confirmed today that the referees' decision was correct.

"I'm angry. I wanted to go to Las Vegas. We wanted to win this Cup, and we're not going because of a loose ball foul, 24 meters from the hoop, with the game on the line. I have never seen anything like it in my life, and it was ridiculous," Kerr commented after the game. It seems that his complaints have not been accepted by the NBA.
