The New York Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau has questioned the refereeing decisions on the night when his team suffered a heartbreaking defeat to the San Antonio Spurs, despite heroics from Jalen Brunson.
The Knicks had a difficult night overall as they lost to the Spurs with a score of 130-126 after overtime at the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio.
The 27-year-old had a fabulous night on a personal level as he ended up registering 61 points to go with four rebounds and six assists. However, that performance was just not good enough for the team.
Thibodeau, while talking to the media, questioned the match officials about why there was a clear free throw disparity with 32-12 in favour of Spurs.
"A foul's a foul," said Thibodeau. "That's what I do know. What I'm hearing, I don't really like. I don't know what else you can do, what else you can say. It's clear as day, it really is that simple."
Despite the result, the Knicks remain in the fourth position in the Eastern Conference with 44 wins and 29 defeats. On the other hand, despite the win on Friday night, the Spurs remain at the bottom of the Western Conference table with 18 victories and 56 defeats.
