New York Knicks coach Mike Brown launched a scathing critique of the officiating following his team’s 115-111 loss to the San Antonio Spurs in Game 3 of the NBA Finals, specifically pointing to a significant disparity in free throw attempts during the second half. The Spurs were awarded 24 free throws in the final two quarters compared to the Knicks’ eight.
"I never thought I’d see that in an NBA Finals game, and I saw it tonight," Brown stated after the Monday night defeat, which cut the Knicks’ series lead to 2-1.
