Ben Stiller, Knicks fans irate over ‘awful’ foul call on Jalen Brunson in loss
NY Post
Knicks celebrity fan Ben Stiller was fuming more than White Goodman at the end of “Dodgeball.”
Stiller was one of many angry basketball fans upset over the questionable foul call on Jalen Brunson that handed the Rockets a 105-103 win on Monday night despite a hard-fought comeback by the Knicks.
Brunson went up to contest a last-ditch effort 3-pointer by Aaron Holiday and the refs ruled he made contact with the shooter before the buzzer sounded, setting up three free throw attempts to break a 103-103 tie.
“@NBAOfficial How are you going to deal with the Houston Knicks awful call,” Stiller posted on X shortly after the loss. “Brunson getting fouled entire game by [Dillon] Brooks and then a no call – call to end the game and take it out of the players hands. Brunson is an all star and that was not a foul in this game. Wrong call. Cost overtime.”
Stiller wasn’t alone in his anger.
“I hope I’m not overreacting when I say the refs who just cost the Knicks that game should not only be fired from the NBA, I want them out of the country,” comedian Sam Morril posted.
The Knicks are on a five-game winning streak and flooded with concerns.
