Kawhi Leonard knocked down 2 triples in the game’s finale and then stoppered Kelly Oubre Jr. on the last possession to lead the Los Angeles Clippers to a controversial 108-107 victory over the Sixers on Wednesday night.
Kelly Oubre Jr. was blocked by Leonard of the Clippers on a play that, according to Sixers coach Nick Nurse, should have resulted in a foul by Paul George.
The refereeing team after the game said it should have whistled a foul on the last play that would have sent Oubre from the charity line with a chance to win the contest.
Nurse entered the court to contest the non-call and was restrained by his assistants. Oubre also entered the fray, pointing at each official before being removed after the final whistle.
“I think he took it pretty hard, how about that?”. Said Nurse. “I looked at it a couple of times on our computer screen. I think there was definitely contact. Certainly like the last two or three that were whistled and the and one just before that. And that was it. I thought the contact was enough to whistle a foul. But that’s the way things go sometimes.”.
