Paranoia of one, or bad faith of the other? The debate has been agitating the NBA for a few hours and the last moments of the match between Oklahoma City, leader of the Western Conference, and the Los Angeles Lakers of LeBron James and Luka Doncic. The reason? The expulsion of the leader in the fourth quarter of the match, sanctioned with a second technical fault for having insulted the referee, which the Slovenian demented strongly, invoking a mistake.
The scene is played seven minutes and forty seconds from the end of a very hung meeting. The ex-player of the Dallas Mavericks, who arrived in February in California, scored a basket which allows his deductible to go back to the top of a point (108-107). We then see him inverting someone, the gaze turned towards the gallery but also of the referee JT Orr, located on the side of the prosecution.
He then returns to the field, and indicates to Luka Doncic that he will receive a second technical fault, synonymous with expulsion. He immediately shows his surprise, and tries to explain to the official that he was despised and that he was aiming for a supporter of the Thunder who had haranguing him since his place. “It had nothing to do with him (the referee), I do not understand,” was then so surprised. It's hard but I also take responsibility, I cannot drop my team as well. »»
The supporter validates his version
“I do not know why the referee took him for him,” also wondered in the Labron James locker room, author of 28 points. In the meeting of the meeting, the official in charge of the supervision of the meeting, Tony Brothers indicates that Dononic “looked directly at an official and used a vulgar language”. Questioned by ESPNthe incriminated supporter Jeremy Price said that the player had attacked him, and not in JT Orr.
Luka Doncic received his first technical fault in the third quarter time, after being sanctioned to claim an unshined fault on his partner Jarred Vanderbilt. “He simply explained to the referee that it was what had happened,” said the latter. And the referee replied: I will talk to anyone except you, Luka. Suddenly, it seemed a little personal at that time. “Tony Brothers assures that the Lakers player” uttered insults against a referee “.
Disturbed, the Lakers ended up bowing 136-120. “It was a great match which, unfortunately, did not end as I think that all basketball fans would like, because of certain decisions made by certain individuals,” annoyed Los Angeles coach, JJ Reddick.
