Why no foul on Booker fouling Kat on the drive? Obvious.

People keep repeating this, but beyond a couple unfortunate ticky-tacks, how in the world is this game the fault of referees? Minnesota has missed an unfathomable amount of wide open shots and have more free-throw attempts.

It's been pretty obvious that the refs are calling contact differently for the teams in the 3rd quarter. Durant and Booker get every call while kAT and Ant get nothing.

I can't believe I am saying this - KAT is matching KD to keep us in the game.

Dom the level of physicality being allowed against the Wolves far exceeds the level of physicality being allowed to the Wolves.

If Jim Pete is getting frustrated with the calls, idk how it can be defended. It didn’t mean it’s the end all be all but it is a factor. Booker offensive fouls every time down but gets rewarded.
Karl gets mugged and nothing. Protect the spread

I just watched Nickeil Alexander-Walker crumple from marginal contact and get a foul call like three possessions ago.
Disappointed by those Jaden McDaniels calls, I think they are soft, but he is reaching on those.

Regardless of the unfair officiating then Wolves are going to grind them down in the 4th. Conley, NAW, and Reid got to step up.

Didn’t say we are behind because of the refs only but obviously they are bad. They will send Booker 30 times to the line, may help Suns a bit….we play well this quarter. Go wolves!

Dom are you seeing the offensive and defensive fouls the Suns are getting away with. If they want a ticky tack fest then call it both ways. If they want a let them play game, then call it both ways. You cannot give one team permission to play physical and the other a by the book whistle calling everything you can.

I wouldn’t say all the time. Got the most part he rips the wolves too for reaching and other things. Calls are going to be missed but just call it as even as possible.
Booker is hooking and pushing every single time down and getting to the line for it.

Reid DID foul. They finally got one right.
Good T.O. by Finch.
Very sloppy play the last 90 seconds. Must fix that now.
