Sacramento Kings head coach Mike Brown said he was “disappointed” by the New York Knicks’ continual complaints to the referees during the Knicks’ loss on Thursday night.
Speaking after the game, Brown noted that the Knicks repeatedly directed their attention toward the officiating crew instead of focusing on play. The veteran coach added that such behavior can become a distraction for any team trying to close out a tight contest.
Brown’s remarks came minutes after the final buzzer, with his squad securing the victory while the Knicks fell short. Specific details of the exchanges between New York’s players and the officials were not disclosed, but Brown made clear that the frequency of the complaints stood out to him over the course of the night.
The Knicks left the floor frustrated, while Brown praised his own players for concentrating on execution down the stretch.
