Even if the referees admitted their error at the end of the match between the Clippers and the Sixers, we could imagine that the NBA would sanction Kelly Oubre Jr. And Nick Nurse for their attitude towards officials.
Unsurprisingly, the Great League thus imposed a fine $50,000 to Philadelphia coach “for aggressively pursuing and verbally attacking the match officials”. Same amount for Kelly Oubre Jr, accused “of having verbally assaulted and of having made an obscene gesture towards the referees”.
After Paul George's unsanctioned foul on the last action, the Pennsylvania winger pointed the finger at the three officials, insulting them one by one…
“We are not perfect, the referees are not perfect. I want to apologize for losing my cool, because this is something I try to work on every day, I try to represent God in the best way possible, and this was not the case. So I ask for forgiveness”however, he regretted.
