At the end of the match, Gobert admitted that his reaction might’ve been ‘immature’ considering it might’ve cost his time but reiterated that he is ready to be the ‘bad guy’ against, just to highlight the poor officiating of the team.
"I'll bite the bullet again," he said. "I'll be the bad guy. I'll take the fine, but I think it's hurting our game. I know the betting and all that is becoming bigger and bigger, but it shouldn't feel that way.
"My reaction, which I think was the truth, but it wasn't the time to react that way. It cost my team the game. It was an immature reaction. It's not just one call. Everyone makes mistakes, but when it's over and over and over again, of course it's frustrating."

On the other hand, the Cavaliers are now sitting pretty in the second position in Eastern Conference with 41 wins and 22 defeats.
