Luka Doncic expressed his frustrations about the officiating in Game 3 after he fouled out with 4:12 remaining in the fourth quarter.
“We couldn’t play physical,” Doncic said when asked about the officiating. “I don’t know. I don’t want to say nothing.
“You know, six fouls in the NBA Finals, basically I’m like this,” Doncic added, motioning with his palms up. “Come on, man. Be better than that.”
“He’s definitely got a bull’s-eye on his chest,” Jason Kidd said. “He’s got to be able to guard and understand that we’re there to protect him and help him if he does get beat. Again, he’s carrying a load offensively. They are putting him in every pick-and-roll and iso. He’s got to be able to play the game where he can rest on offense and let others carry the load.”
