Denver Nuggets interim coach David Adelman called out the officiating crew for a lack of fouls called against three-time MVP Nikola Jokic's primary defenders in the club's 111-105 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday.

"...Nikola gets fouled a lot," Adelman said to reporters after the Game 6 defeat. "I'm not sure what was happening. But for him to shoot two free throws with the amount of contact that was going on out there was absolutely crazy. They put smalls on him. Those smalls were allowed to do whatever they want, so I'm really excited for Saturday [Game 7] that we're gonna be able to do the same thing with their best players.
