Milwaukee coach Doc Rivers was fined $25,000 by the NBA for publicly criticizing officiating after a controversial foul call against Giannis Antetokounmpo in a close game.
Rivers expressed frustration over back-to-back incorrect officiating calls, stating this trend is potentially detrimental to the integrity of the game and the performance of his team.
Crew chief Curtis Blair confirmed that the foul called on Antetokounmpo was a mistake, indicating no illegal contact occurred after reviewing the game footage post-match.
Rivers lamented that the NBA's last two calls on crucial plays went against his team, highlighting that they were lucky in earlier games for not facing worse outcomes.
