When the Blazers were behind the Jazz by 2 points, in the final seconds, Damian Lillard drove to the basket for a layup. The shot was blocked by Rudy Gobert after the ball touched the backboard. Referees didn’t gave Blazers a goaltending and the game ended in Portland’s 117-114 loss to Utah.
Damian Lillard was furious at the referees and even tried to fight them after the game endend, because, as it looked, there was a rules’ violation by Rudy Gobert, which should gave Blazers a goaltending.
Carmelo Anthony wasn’t happy with referees decision either and expressed his opinion on the situation.
“I guess we’re just supposed to take this L and go back to Portland… I would rather lose fair and square. I would have rather the Jazz beat us fair and square.” Carmelo Anthony reacted.
