The match between the Thunder and the Lakers looked like a boxing match. An excellent fight even. Then, as a referee who decides to end hostilities in the middle of the ring, JT Orr made an important decision: release Luka Donic. A moment difficult to understand and with enormous consequences since OKC will roll on Los Angeles afterwards.
“It was a great match, which unfortunately did not end up like, I think, all the world's basketball fans would have liked it, because of a decision made by certain people”,, lament Logically JJ Redick.
There is less than eight minutes left to play and Luka Doncic has just scored a basket that puts the Lakers in front of a point. He shouts in the direction of JT Orr and the latter then decided to inflict a second technical fault on the Slovenian. Result: Expulsion! The player and his teammates rush to the referee to explain to him that the former Mavericks did not speak to him, but settled his accounts with a fan in the front row. Nothing helps.
Luka Doncic speaks too much
“We can see what happened. I never brought out a fan from a room. Never. But if I am talking to me, then I will answer. It had nothing to have with the referee, so I didn't really understand ”says the star of Lakers.
In the wake of this heavy decision, the referees also give a technical fault to Jarred Vanderbilt, after a simple against on Alex Caruso. “The match became weird after this moment”estimates LeBron James.
It has mainly become one -way, since the Thunder will win the seven minutes and 40 seconds with a deviation of 17 points. From a balanced heavyweight fight, we went to a beating. Too bad for the show, which was very good for 40 minutes …
“It was a playoff match, the atmosphere was crazy, everyone was at the level …”Austin Reaves list. “It is unfortunate that the meeting could have turned like this. »»
