The defensive miscommunications at the end of the game cost them, especially late threes from Jabari Smith Jr. and Fred VanVleet to help the Rockets overcome a poor offensive night.<\/p>\n<p>Hield had 15 points (6-12 FG), two steals, and three blocks in the loss, having a strong two-way performance. Gary Payton II (2-4 FG) remained an aggressive defender with four points, seven rebounds, and two steals, while Brandin Podziemski\u2019s 30 minutes on the court brought him eight points (3-9 FG), five rebounds, and two steals.<\/p>\n<p>The trio amongst them picked up seven steals, but they clearly weren\u2019t on the same page at the end of this rough loss. Golden State has gone 3-7 in their last 10 games, with this loss pulling them 1.5 games behind the No. 4 seed\u00a0Dallas Mavericks. The Rockets are consolidating their place as the No. 2 seed in the Conference, currently tied with the\u00a0Memphis Grizzlies\u00a0for that spot.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"steve-kerr-blames-the-referees\" class=\"is-aligned-center\">Steve Kerr Blames The Referees<\/h2>\n<p>The Warriors had the game won with a 90-89 score in the final few seconds before the Rockets tried corraling a loose ball, prompting\u00a0Draymond Green\u00a0to try and get a game-winning steal on\u00a0Jalen Green. Instead, Draymond aggressively covered Jalen to ensure he couldn\u2019t pass the ball out from being on his back, leading to the referees calling a foul on the Warriors forward, sending Jalen to the free throw line.<\/p>\n<p>The two made free throws from the Rockets guard put the nail in the coffin, as Podziemski would get blocked on a game-winning shot attempt. Warriors head coach\u00a0Steve Kerr blamed the referees\u00a0for giving that call and costing the Bay Area franchise the game.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI\u2019ve never seen a loose ball foul on a jump ball situation 80 feet from the basket, with the game on the line. I\u2019ve never seen that. Think I saw it in college one time, 30 years ago. Never seen it in the NBA. That is unconscionable. I don\u2019t even understand what just happened.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cLoose ball, diving on the floor 80 feet from the basket and you\u2019re going to give a guy two free throws to decide the game when people are scrambling for the ball? Just give them a timeout. Let the players decide the game. That\u2019s how you officiate, especially because the game was a complete wrestling match.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>He also criticized the referees for missing calls earlier in the game like\u00a0Stephen Curry\u00a0being high-fived on a three-point attempt. However, Rockets fans do believe that the referees showed some bias towards the Warriors by reviewing an obvious foul committed by Draymond earlier in the quarter instead of awarding a flagrant one.<\/p>\n<p>Referees have been criticized a lot in recent weeks, but that doesn\u2019t change the outcome. Kerr over-tinkered with his rotation and didn\u2019t have a cohesive identity in the fourth quarter, something the Rockets used to their advantage and the win.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Golden State Warriors guards Buddy Hield, Brandin Podziemski, and Gary Payton II were seen arguing during crunch time of their loss to the Houston Rockets.
