"Two (refs) have no business being out there and crew chief (Zach Zarba) was acting starstruck, so you're seeing all kinds of inconsistent calls, and I'm sure we should've got a few more techs," Udoka said after the game."
"The report stated that the officials missed a call against Denver's Tim Hardaway Jr., and Houston's Amen Thompson and Kevin Durant were incorrectly called for fouls."
"Thompson and Durant's fouls gave Denver four free throws. Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray both went 2 for 2 and extended the lead to 128-122 with 47.2 seconds remaining."
Ime Udoka was fined $25,000 for publicly criticizing the officiating after Houston's 128-125 overtime loss to the Nuggets. Udoka said "Two (refs) have no business being out there and crew chief (Zach Zarba) was acting starstruck, so you're seeing all kinds of inconsistent calls, and I'm sure we should've got a few more techs," taking a shot at each official. The NBA's Last Two Minute Report found three incorrect calls in overtime that favored Denver, noting a missed call against Tim Hardaway Jr. and incorrect fouls charged to Amen Thompson and Kevin Durant. Those fouls produced four free throws that Jokic and Murray made, extending Denver's lead, and Jokic recorded his 12th triple-double as the Nuggets earned a fifth straight win.
