The Portland Trailblazers and the Utah Jazz faced off against each other this past Friday night, and the Blazers essentially could have forced the game into overtime if the refs didn’t miss a blatant goaltending call.
Rudy Gobert goaltended a layup that was set to be made by Damian Lillard, which would have taken the game to overtime. Instead, the Blazers lost to the Jazz 117-114.
Lillard spoke on the decision, saying “We get to the last play of the game, and they miss an easy call. And then they tell us that's an easy no-call, like that was obviously not a goaltend. Cost us a f**king game, man. Cost us a game." Officials admitted they were wrong after the fact, but Lillard took to Twitter and responded by saying “We don’t wanna hear this punk a** s**t.”
