“You’d have to ask the MVP of the night, Marat Kogut,” Curry said of two key officiating decisions that benefited the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Mandatory Credit: Jesse Johnson-USA TODAY Sports By Ben Golliver Ben Golliver NBA reporter Email Bio Follow March 30 at 10:26 AM One of the wildest finishes to a game this NBA season prompted two of the league’s biggest stars to unload on the officiating.
An 11-2 Warriors run during the final 95 seconds of regulation precipitated the postgame fury. After trailing 128-119, Curry hit back-to-back three-pointers, Draymond Green added a putback and the Timberwolves missed two free throws to make it a one-possession game with six seconds left. “[Kogut is] so good with his whistle they knew [Bates-Diop] was going to foul me and he called it right before I shot the ball,” Durant said. “He’s one of the greatest refs of all time.”
Durant argued in his postgame comments that the game should have proceeded to double overtime because his contact was minor and because the pass to Towns was uncatchable.— Mark Medina March 30, 2019 “Can you be physical like that late in the game? I didn’t extend my arms on the push,” he said. “I didn’t grab. I didn’t impede anybody’s movement. Plus, the ball was already out of bounds. Would you call it that way? My little brother probably wouldn’t have called that one.
