On April 5, Beijing time, the NBA officially announced a penalty decision, Cavaliers coach Bixtaf was fined $15,000 for his remarks in a post-game interview with the 76ers yesterday. But then there was a heart-wrenching scene, and the referee's report showed that there were 2 misjudgments in this game, and 76ers profited.
Yesterday the Cavaliers lost 108-112 at home to the 76ers, and for the result of the game, coach Bixtaf was a little dissatisfied, questioning the referee after the game, "We should have won the game, but in the end our victory was taken away." We deserve victory. On the defensive end you can't stop the other side from taking free throws, which is ridiculous. Because of questioning the referee, Bikstaff received a fine from the league, and $15,000 was gone.
With a point difference of less than 5 points, the referee's report for the last 2 minutes is released the next day, and the results show that Bickerstaff's complaint is correct.
The report showed two missed sentences in the last 2 minutes, both against the Cavaliers.
The first time occurred in the last 17.4 seconds of the game, when the 76ers 107-106 Cavaliers, Garland broke through to the box with the ball, faced Embiid's defense directly to the basket, in the air the two had physical contact, Garland fell, this should be a foul of Embiid, but the referee did not blow the penalty, this is a missed decision. If the penalty is blown, Garland has a chance to help the team complete the rebound.
The second time was in the subsequent 76ers offense, the 76ers sent a sideline ball, Harden in order to find the space to catch the ball, put his hand on Markkanen's back when there was no ball, and hooked the latter's arm, should be blown for offensive fouls, but unfortunately the referee did not blow the penalty. Then Harden successfully received the ball, Markkanen could only foul him tactically, Harden was given 2 free throw opportunities, and Markkanen left the court with 6 fouls.
These 2 wrong penalties can be said to have directly changed the trend of the game, otherwise the Cavaliers really have a hope of winning the game. This is not to blame Bikstaff for blaming the referee for blowing the penalty after the game, and this side has just finished punishing, the referee report quickly punched the face, this scene is also a bit heartfelt.
