Rudy Gobert chose his words well after the loss to the Celtics to avoid a fine. “We all, sometimes, feel that the things that anger players, and people in life in general, is feeling like they’re not being treated fairly. »
If the pivot of the Wolves can complain, it is because two decisions of the referees concerning him did not go well. The first is at the start of the third quarter, Jayson Tatum goes up to dunk and Rudy Gobert touches him in the face. The Celtics winger falls heavily and the officials decide to give him a flagrant foul.
“I take punches in the face every night and there is never a flagrant foul”reacted the former Jazz for the Star Tribune. ” That’s crazy. I have to watch the game again to find out if I’m crazy or not. »
The second situation is much more decisive, three seconds from the end, with two points ahead for Boston. After a battle on the rebound, an in-between is whistled. Rudy Gobert on one side, Grant Williams on the other.
The Boston player wins the jump ball. How ? Because he (too) anticipated the launch. The ball, which has not really had time to rise, arrives in the hands of Jayson Tatum who, after suffering the fault, seals the victory with two free throws.
“He stole possession”believes Rudy Gobert. “With no disrespect to him, I can’t lose a jump ball against Williams. So he stole the ball. »
Anthony Edwards and Kyle Anderson, frustrated by the absence of whistle against Grant Williams, will be sanctioned by technical faults then expelled. Wolves bow with a bitter taste in their mouths.
“It was really difficult. It was a little unbalanced at times”laments Chris Finch.
So much wrong here. Al Horford moves his position, Grant Williams is moving forward into Rudy & then steals the tip on the way up. pic.twitter.com/dh25H3ZORV
