Non-call costs Raptors chance at winning game
by Justin L. Abrotsky, USA TODAY Sports
A late non-call (on the same day the NBA acknowledged two mistakes from earlier in the week) when Atlanta Hawks forward Al Horford basically karate-chopped DeMar DeRozan cost the Raptors a solid chance at winning and probably ticked off most of Toronto.
Rest assured, Raptors fans: Your coach is as angry about it as you in the wake of the 93-92 loss. Possibly angrier. After all, if you get mad, you don’t have the looming wrath of NBA fines, reprimands and who-knows-what-else.
From The Toronto Sun:
“I’m tired of losing games because of missed calls at the end of games. I know the league is going to come down on me, but I don’t care,” said a seething Casey, smoke practically billowing out of his ears. “These guys have fought their hearts out, played their hearts out and at the end of the game, we get cracked, (league sends out an) apology, go back to Canada. I’ve been in this league 18 years and I’ve never seen so many missed calls at the end of the game to cost us the game.”
I know!
