2023-2024 NBA regular league held at the Milwaukee Pieserv Forum in Wisconsin on the 15th
Sacramento, which lost to Damien Lillard by allowing a buzzer beater, lost its second straight game and fell to sixth place in the Western Conference.
Sacramento coach Brown was sent off after protesting harshly. The situation occurred about two minutes after Sacramento trailed 95-105 in the fourth quarter. De'Aaron Pax, who attempted to break through, collided with Cameron Payne, and their arms got tangled in the process.
Brown argued that Payne hung Pax's arm first, but a foul was not declared. Brown complained to the referee outraged that Pax's error and Malik Beasley's steal had cleared the situation.
Brown was sent off after receiving technical fouls in the process. The first Korean referee to send off Brown was Hwang In-tae, who was registered as an official referee in the NBA. Hwang was the referee in the match. 토토사이트 추천
Brown couldn't calm down even after the game ended. He brought a laptop of his team's staff to the interview room and showed reporters scenes that he thought were suspicious, including a collision between Pax and Payne.
"I wanted to show you why I was sent off. Payne is putting his arm around him first. So Pax almost fell. I don't understand why he gave Lillard three free throws at the end of the third quarter. Also, Milwaukee had 19 free throws until the second quarter, but we only made five. It's hard to understand," Brown said.
"Of course, referees are human beings, so they can make mistakes. I hope referees communicate with each other and show consistency. I think this game was inconsistent," Brown added.
