With 11 points ahead at the break, the Kings had taken this trip to Dallas by the right end. ” We started off being the aggressor, they hit back in the second half », summarizes De’Aaron Foxthinking in particular of the rise in temperature of the opposing shooters, including the hottest of them, Kyrie Irving.
” For us, it’s about trying to keep your foot on the accelerator. We controlled the game for most of the first half, but they kept going and never looked back. “, Continues the leader of the Kings, author of 28 points but only 10/26 on shots.
This one also had a few words towards Tim Hardaway Jr. and otherwise threw a wry look in the direction of Luka Doncic, who disputed an obvious fault on him. Accustomed to the genre, the Slovenian is not the only one to have complained to the officials in this match.
” I complained too much to the referees. It’s possible they missed a few whistles, but at the end of the day, they’re human beings. You have to know how to ignore “Recognizes Mike Brown, the Californian coach, whose team has obtained almost as many free throws (19) as the opposing team (18).
One action in particular made him lose his temper. About five minutes from the end, Kevin Huerter was penalized for an offensive foul against Tim Hardaway Jr. The Kings shooter, however little known for his vehemence towards the referees, immediately challenged the whistle which gave resulted in a technical foul.
Irritated, Mike Brown still called for a “challenge” which proved his player right, hit in the face by the shooter opposite. The technical fault, on the other hand, was still relevant. Which offered a free point to Kyrie Irving, to take a five-point lead for his team, which will eventually win by four.
“ We all complained about that missed whistle recalls Mike Brown, a little bitterly: So you have to give credit to the Mavericks. They increased their physical intensity in the second half and they won. »
