According to Golden State coach Steve Kerr, the foul call against his team that resulted in their NBA Cup loss to Houston was “unconscionable”of and wouldn’t have been called by an elementary school referee.
With 11 seconds remaining, Golden State led by one point after Stephen Curry missed a 3-pointer. Gary Payton II retrieved the offensive rebound but turned it over with a pass that Jalen Green intercepted.
Green then had two free throws that helped Houston win 91-90 and advance to the NBA Cup semi-finals after Jonathan Kuminga was called for a foul against him while they were on the court.
Kerr remarked, “That is unconscionable,” “I mean, I don’t even understand what just happened.”
Kerr believed it ought to.
A pool reporter questioned chief Billy Kennedy about the foul call.
“The defender makes contact with the neck and shoulder area, warranting a personal foul to be called,” Kennedy stated.
After the game, Kerr spent almost two minutes ranting about the refereeing and what he thought was a clear foul on Curry that had gone uncalled.
“The game was a complete wrestling uni match,” Kerr stated. “They made no phone calls. During a jump shot, Steph Curry was struck in the elbow directly; there was no call.
Since the game is physical, you’ve already decided that you won’t make any calls throughout it. Next, a loose ball foul will be called on .
