It was to be expected that the nervousness of the Rockets in Sacramento is expensive for them and the NBA did not actually fail to sanction them. So, Ime Udoka fined $50,000 when Tari Eason receives one of 35,000 dollars and that of Alperen Sengun amounts to $15,000.
For Ime Udoka, it is because he “ confronted » a referee using a “ inappropriate language », in addition to taking time to leave the field and criticizing the refereeing body at a press conference.
“ These are obvious fouls not called, even though they are right in front of him. They whistle at very borderline moving screens and shit like that, but they don't want to whistle at obvious stuff that's happening in front of their eyes. There are several mistakes on [Alperen Sengun]on this drive and on the layup, but they don't whistle anything. I told him to buy glasses and open his eyes. Let him put away his sensitivity, his emotions, and let him whistle the right way. It's right in front of him and John Goble, or whoever it was, sees it and doesn't whistle, so I let him know. »

For Tari Eason, it’s because he “ threw a towel » in the direction of a spectator, in addition to “ address [à lui] inappropriately “. Annoyed by what this fan had shouted at him as he returned to the locker room, the winger actually tried to climb into the stands, before being stopped by security and calming down.
For Alperen Sengun, it is because he also used a “ inappropriate language » while addressing a referee of the match.
We remember that, during this defeat of the Rockets at the Kings, Tuesday evening, Ime Udoka and Alperen Sengun were excluded for their strong anger against the refereeing at the end of the fourth quarter.
