The Boozer fought the Knicks all the way against the Buzzer net. And after the buzzer.
After a 117-112 loss to the Nexus on Monday at Barclays Center, all-star Julius Randall needed frequent control to get behind referee Scott Foster.
Randall calmed down 40 minutes after the game, calling for a last-minute trip break.
“It was a conversation – at best I didn’t comment on the situation.” Randall said. “It simply came to our notice then. I’ll dwell on that past and move on to the next game. ”
Asked about his reaction after Boozer, Randall said: “I was disappointed. We give a very hard fight to come back and win the game. I was just frustrated. ”
It was a game in which the Knicks were trailing by 18 points in the first half, and they took it into final possession after Talk Thibodeau was challenged on a controversial theft by Alec Burks.
But the Knicks coach was far from challenged on the final game in which Randall was called up for the trip – a rarely seen old-school up-down infection.
Knicks senior vice president William Wesley needed Randall to wrestle on the court, his star was shocked, but it was probably not timely for the NBA not to issue a sentence for the display.
On his way to Randall Rates he clashed with Jeff Green of the net but at least Wesley saved an old Brooklyn street fight in an area of Flatbush Avenue. Knicks president Leon Rose was also trying to find peace in court.
After Thibode won the challenge with seven seconds left, the Knicks controlled the tip after the jump ball and called for a quick timeout.
Randall got the ball on the right wing ahead of the 3-point line. He went for a potential binding shot and got Carrie Irving’s hand on the ball. Randall came down without shooting and immediately put the ball to dribble.
But it was too late. Foster is called traveling because Randall was seen floating the land with possession. He finished with 33 points, 12 rebounds and six assists.
Foster told a pool reporter that he was standing with his call lone that Irving touched the ball but did not disassemble it, and Randall came down on his feet with possession. That is the rule.
“It’s an emotional game, it’s calmed down immediately,” Thibode said. “It was a tough fight game for both teams. Sometimes it goes your way with the CTO, sometimes it doesn’t work. “He played 5, he was switching. He didn’t go our way in the end.”
Irving said he was trying to mislead Randall before he went upstairs.
Irving said, “I was tormented either early, but I saw him licking for a jump shot.” “I thought I could get a good hand on it. Scott calls it travel. I thought Julius did a good play by putting it down later. I’ll get him wrong only after he gets to the free-throw line. That’s the way it went. “
Perhaps Randall was educated on the post-game rule, as it seemed vague.
Randall said, ‘I think I can go beyond this and comment on what I believe and what the officer thought.’
In the previous play, the referees reversed a call for theft by Berks, which originally cost Rs.
Thibode would have challenged Randall’s play, he said, if he had a challenge left.
“They said they saw it, I didn’t see it that way,” said Thibode, whose club fell to 20-20 and will face the Sixers on Tuesday. “Like the other play in the corner, I don’t see it that way.”
The Nets took an 18-point lead in the first half but the Knicks did not back down or go away and were within five points of the final four minutes.
And then Randall was ready for more.
