Philadelphia 76ers players and coaches were furious about a missed call on the final play of Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Guard Kelly Oubre Jr. drove for a basket and seemed to be fouled with less than a second left. However, no foul was called, resulting in a 108-107 victory for the Clippers. Crew chief Kevin Scott later admitted that a foul should have been called. The Sixers' head coach, Nick Nurse, and Oubre himself expressed their frustration to the referees. The players understood the intensity of the game but recognized the need for self-control.
Nurse acknowledged that the loss could not be blamed solely on the referees and cited several other key moments in the game. Although disappointed, Oubre, Nurse, and the team are focused on moving forward and improving.
