An NBA referee allowed the Warriors to beat the Grizzlies on a poor call in the play-in game.
The Golden State Warriors escaped with a victory over the Memphis Grizzlies with a dental skin victory.
It was a very controversial game and I got some terrible calls from the judges. The referee appeared to blow the decisions in both ways, but the Warriors benefited from many decisions.
Ja Morant even suffered a brutal ankle injury, but still managed to get through the pain like a warrior. But the bad call from the judge was too big for the Grizzlies to overcome.
NBA fans are naturally furious about how the game unfolds, some of which have expressed frustration.

NBA fans let their emotions go on X about the host at tonight’s play-in game. One fan said, “The referee is trying to ruin a great basketball game.”
“I’m not that guy, but I hope that NBA fans, other than Warriors fans, are watching everything. Judgment I’m doing it now,” another frustrated fan wrote.
One fan believes the referee supports the warriors and claims that “warriors should lose this game, but there should be an NBA referee.”
Another fan warned Warriors supporters, saying, “I don’t want to hear Warriors fans complain about the referee again.”
One NBA supporter believes that NBA officials need to take responsibility by telling NBA officials, “A post-judgment press conference is needed right away. They have a big impact on the game and will get off Scotch for free for f******s*** up.”

As we predicted, the Warriors won tonight. But tonight’s game should serve as an example of what they’re doing wrong.
Golden State has increased by 20 at some point in the game. But they led it significantly, allowing the Grizzlies to return to the game.
Furthermore, when Ja Morant was out of court with an ankle injury, they were unable to contain the Grizzlies.
These issues could come back to plague the warriors against the rocket if not addressed soon. But they have a few days to study the tape and find the mistake to try and fix it.
