Monty Williams blasts refereeing after Pistons defeat: “Where…”

This last Monday, 26th, the match between New York Knicks It is Detroit Pistons It had a very controversial ending. And the arbitration decisions meant that the coach of the franchise Michigan would go crazy. Very uncomfortable with the play that defined the victory of the franchise New York, Monty Williams did not mince words in the press conference after the end of the game, which ended 113 to 111.

The move in question happened on the last play of the match. In a chaotic moment, Jalen Brunson He had the shot to win the contest, but missed. The defensive rebound was Quentin Grimesalmost on the edge of the sideline, who had to throw the ball to the middle of the court in desperation, trying to avoid the exit, but Simone Fontecchio had no dominance. Then, Isaiah Hartenstein kept the ball and sent it to Donte DiVincenzo, which was on the perimeter. He tried to pass to Brunson again, but was intercepted by Ausar Thompson. In desperation, the player threw himself at the Detroit rookie. The contact on the young man’s legs was not seen as a foul by the referees, meaning Brunson was left with the surplus and provided the assist for Josh Hart score two points and suffer a foul, sealing the victory.

Monty Williams, coach of the Detroit Pistons, simply DESTROYED the refereeing and the NBA in the post-game press conference.

“Where is the New York press now? What happened here was absurd. This was the worst non-marking of the entire 2023/24 season. For me, that’s enough. We’ve been through this before and we acted the right way, we did our part as the NBA wants. We call them, we send them videos. But we are tired of hearing the same sad story over and over again. We had a chance to win the game today. The guy jumped on Ausar’s leg and they didn’t score anything. This is absurd, man. We’re not in the NFL, right? I know we are all subject to mistakes, but there is no way to make a mistake on a play like that in an NBA game. History end”shot Monty Williams.

“I’m tired of talking about it here. I feel sorry for my players. Again, they had to ask me what else they need to do to win games. And today they deserved to leave here in a different way. Today’s situation is living proof of what we have been facing since the season began. So, that’s enough. It is unacceptable for someone to jump on a player’s legs in a late game situation and not score anything.”continued the coach, very irritated.

“We just want fair arbitration. We don’t want to be favored. But what’s happening to us these last few times is ridiculous. I’m very tired and have nothing more to say. We want a fair game and that’s not happening. So I’m out.”added the Pistons commander.
