Knicks Coach Blasts SGA for Foul Calls

0:00For the NBA, it's March 5th, and here's what's going on. The New York Knicks dropped a close one to the Oklahoma City Thunder, 103-100, on March 4th. After the game, Knicks head coach Mike Brown fired off strong words about Thunderstar Shy Gildges Alexander. Brown said SGA is the best in the league at selling calls to referees. SGA put up 26 points in 8 assists in 35 minutes that night. He took 7 free throws, the most in the game. For the season, he leased the entire NBA in free throws, made per game. The flashpoint came early, with 1 minute 57 seconds left in the first quarter. Thunder up 20-18, SGA drove hard into Nick's car, Jalen Brunson. No foul was called, even though SGA already had two personals. Brown lost it on the sideline, and picked up his first technical foul of the year. He argued it should have been SGA's third foul, flipping the possession and potentially changing the whole game.

1:00Many around the league quietly nod, along with Brown's take. When stars draw fouls like that night after night, it sparks real debate about skill versus savvy. The Knicks are making noise now about getting fair calls. D&N is sponsored by our partner. Your podcast, your moment, made for listening and bed, S-O-L-I-SOLIPILO.com, S-O-L-I-SOLIPILO.com.
