Orlando, Florida — The NBA admitting that referee Jacyn Goble made a mistake on the final call of Monday’s loss in Houston did not bring Jalen Brunson any comfort.
Following Wednesday’s 118-100 defeat to the Magic, the Knicks point guard remarked, “They can keep it to themselves.”

The main focus is on the message it conveys following the resulting error.
“I also appreciate the work that our organization is doing,” Thibodeau remarked. It seems like the correct thing to do to me. Let the league make the decision.

In an ideal world, DiVincenzo replied, “I would love to.” “In terms of logistics and how everything works, I’m not sure if it’s feasible. But I’d really like to if everything goes as planned.
