Rudy Gobert, Chris Finch Fined For Criticizing Officials Following Suns Loss 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Sat Apr 1, 2023 3:54 am

Rudy Gobert was fined $25,000 and Chris Finch was fined $15,000 after each criticized officials following the Minnesota Timberwolves' 107-100 loss to the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday.


The Suns had a 27-12 advantage in free throw attempts in the game.


Finch said that Monty Williams' previous criticism of officials "works, because tonight they went to the line 27 times and we went to the line 12 times" after the game.


Gobert then claimed that officials were "trying to help them [Phoenix] win" the game.


"I think you want to see KD [Kevin Durant] in the playoffs, Steph [Stephen Curry] in the playoffs, you want to see LeBron [James] in the playoffs. Timberwolves are not there yet," added Gobert.

I see no lies in what Gobert said.
