Warriors question officiating in loss vs. Celtics

With 14 seconds left Irving went to the free throw line. But Steve Kerr says there was no foul

NBA


The Golden State Warriors lost in Boston 92-88 but after the game they questioned the officiating.

Per ESPN, Golden State got to the free throw line 19 times, compared to Boston receiving 38 attempts, and the Warriors were called for 24 fouls, nine more than the Celtics.

Celtics point guard Kyrie Irving took trips to the line seven times in the fourth quarter, and made all of them. 

"He got to the free throw line a lot. That was it. He didn't make no shots," Draymond Green said after the game. "He got to the free throw line. Whether they were fouls or not is another discussion."

But the most controversial call occurred with 14 seconds left with the score tied at 88. Green switched onto Irving at the top of the key. Irving crossed Green over a bit, penetrated and attacked two Warriors' defenders in the paint. Green recovered, also challenging the circus layup attempt from behind as Irving spilled awkwardly to the floor. The ball clanked off the rim, but Green was hit with a foul.
This time, all five of the Warriors' players reacted to the call. Head coach Steve Kerr was irate.
"I just watched the tape. There was no foul. Tough call," Kerr said following the game.
