Kristaps Porziņģis Admitted That The Referees’ Lack Of Calls Made Him ‘Riled Up’
Porziņģis explained why the lack of calls during the game got to him.
“They were really handsy,” Porziņģis told reporters after the game, per Bobby Krivitsky. “Refs were not calling a lot of stuff, so this was one of those games where we had to adapt quick, and I felt like we didn’t.

“So, just not a good night for us. And that’s it. We’ve been here before, and we look forward to the next one,” Porziņģis said.
