After a triple double Chris paul After the match, he acknowledged the opponents’ advantage, but also drew attention to the match referee Scott Foster, with whom he has had personal disagreements before.
I asked Chris Paul about the refereeing, specifically that delay in the call of the game. He called Scott Foster because he says he knows he will be fined.

According to the basketball player, S. Foster allowed him to fix the loosened shoelaces during the game, but then gave him a technical foul for stopping the game. Paul said he understood that he would be fined for mentioning a particular judge, but he couldn’t help but bring up his misunderstood episode.
Not only that, the Thunder player assured that the referee had taken care to remind him of his next match. Foster also refereed Game 7 of the 2008 series between the New Orleans Hornets and the San Antonio Spurs, in which Paul’s team was also eliminated.

Their paths crossed again in 2019, when Paul was still representing the Houston club. Foster played in a losing game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The Rockets then marched fairly confidently (33/25), but lost all six of Foster’s games.
“I don’t know what else I have to do. I reached out to the league leaders about it and we all had a joint meeting. I really don’t know what else I have to do,” Paul said.
Last year’s statistics also look suspicious: the teams represented by Ch.Paul have already lost ten repeat matches in a row, in which S.Foster was the referee. The player himself played in nine of these games.
