Following the Milwaukee Bucks' narrow 115-114 loss to the Charlotte Hornets, Bucks coach Doc Rivers found himself in hot water with the NBA after publicly criticizing the officiating that determined the outcome of the game. Rivers was fined $25,000 by the league for his remarks.
The contentious moment in question occurred with just 7.3 seconds remaining in the game when Rivers disputed a foul call against Giannis Antetokounmpo, claiming that Charlotte's LaMelo Ball had simply slipped and fallen. Despite Rivers' objections, Ball went on to sink two crucial free throws, securing the victory for the Hornets.
