00:00I thought the final play was the ref blowing a call.
00:04This is back-to-back games now.
00:06We're on the final play.
00:08There's been an incorrect call made.
00:12The metal ball fell.
00:15It just fell down.
00:17Nobody was near him.
00:18Slipped on his own.
00:21We come up with the ball.
00:23The game's over.
00:25You know, so back-to-back games now,
00:28we've had a call made against us that was incorrect.
00:33We were lucky in Detroit.
00:35The kid missed two free throws.
00:37Tonight, the metal ball made the free throws.
00:42And there was clearly not a foul.
00:45Go back three plays when Giannis dunks.
00:47The whole team fouled him.
00:50The whole team fouled him.
00:52And it's a no call.
00:53Giannis drives to the basket because he's powerful.
00:57And they can hit him on the arm.
00:59They can hit him in the face.
01:00And because he keeps going,
01:02he doesn't get credit for the contact that he's creating.
01:05Giannis was in the paint.
01:07I think you were at the game, right?
01:08He was in the paint the whole night.
01:11Someone explain to me how Giannis gets one free throw.
01:17But more importantly, through all that, we played through all that,
01:20it comes down to two teams playing hard.
01:24We get the switch we wanted.
01:26We had Giannis on the metal ball, our biggest guy,
01:29one of the best defenders in the league.
01:33And we call a phantom foul.
01:36Like, these mistakes can't happen.
01:38I probably would be frustrated if this was just tonight.
01:41But now this is back-to-back nights that this has happened to us.
