From his spot on the sidelines, Ime Udoka let his displeasure with the officiating be known throughout the Houston Rockets‘ 128-125 loss to the Denver Nuggets on Monday night. When the game was done, he sat behind a table in a conference room and let it be known in even more certain terms. “I think it was as poorly officiated game as I’ve seen in a long time,” the Rockets coach said.
Then, he went further, blasting crew chief Zach Zarba and his two officials Natalie Sago and JD Ralls. Zarba hit Udoka with a technical foul in the second quarter shortly after Alperen Şengün also received a technical for complaining about not getting a foul call on Nikola Jokić. “Two have no business being out there and the crew chief is acting starstruck,” Udoka said. “You were seeing all kinds of inconsistent calls, and I’m sure we should have gotten a few more techs.
Kevin Durant, who finished with 25 points, said he didn’t get to see the foul on Thompson because he was guarding the inbounder and never got a good look at the replay, but he was more judicious about the officiating than his coach. “It’s unfortunate, you know,” Durant said. “The refs can’t get every play right.

Aaron Rodgers grinned as he shouted out the names of his teammates who helped the Steelers beat the Dolphins on Monday night — Kenneth Gainwell, Connor Heyward, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Asante Samuel Jr., Adam Thielen. They all had something in common.
