In a tense Game Four between the New York Knicks and Detroit Pistons, Knicks fans focused on a controversial no-call on a potential foul against Tim Hardaway Jr. at the buzzer. Despite the Knicks winning 94-93 thanks to strong performances by Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns, fans preferred to dwell on the injustice rather than the actual game highlights. This reflects a broader trend where fans find comfort in blaming referees, suggesting that feeling wronged may evoke a sense of empowermentâeven if it undermines enjoyment of the game.
The last play of the Knicks game involved the Pistons' Tim Hardaway Jr. shooting a 3-pointer at the buzzer and appearing to be fouled by Josh Hart.
We want to feel like something has been taken from us. But, just as much, we want someone to scream at it about-someone to blame.
