I don't normally like complaining about reffing, but it made a huge difference in the 4th today. The Poeltl foul for using his body on an offensive rebound, DeRozan getting crushed on a layup with no call, and Lowry getting hit from behind on a layup with no call. All 3 happened within a couple minutes, and all were blatantly the wrong call. That makes a massive difference in a tight game.
We still obviously have to be better. We reverted to ISO ball in Washington. Not a surprise to have a setback when implementing a new offense, but we need to get back to ball movement and taking care of the ball.
