One hour after the match, the referee of the NBA issued a note acknowledging that it failed. Kevin Scott stated that Paul George actually touched Kelly when he had the ball and was heading to the rim. “At the time of the match, the team interpreted that play as if the defender had jumped vertically. However, after the game, we saw from the video that there was a slight deflection by George to the left, and the foul should have been awarded there.”, acknowledged the referee. If the foul had been called, Oubre would have had the opportunity to turn the score around.
“In the heat of the moment of an intense basketball game, of course we are not perfect. The referees aren’t perfect either. I’d like to apologize for losing my cool, because it’s something I work on every day, trying to represent God the best way I can. And that’s not exactly what happened.”commented Kelly Oubre, who recently returned to acting, after being run over while walking home.
