76ers' Doc Rivers 'disappointed' at Game 6 officiating errors - ESPN

BOSTON — Philadelphia 76ers coach Doc Rivers said he was «disappointed» that the NBA's officiating game report from Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals saw Philadelphia have 13 officiating errors disadvantaging the 76ers compared to four for the Boston Celtics, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

«It was disappointing to see, honestly,» 76ers coach Doc Rivers said before Sunday afternoon's Game 7 here at TD Garden. «A 13 to four disparity… in a one-point, two-point game, it's hard to recover from. It really is.

»I mean, when you saw the report, which we read and then saw the calls that were missed. The trip on James Harden down the stretch when he fell to the floor, the loose ball where they called a timeout, and they didn't have the ball. Plus, there was a foul on Smart on the play. That would've been free throws. That's hard to recover from. It really is. Having said that, it's a human game, and you have to just try to play through it. Usually, the disparities are never that great. Most games they're two and three, and you can live with those, but 13 and four, that's hard."

Philadelphia had a two-point lead with just under 6 minutes to go in Game 6 — after winning Games 4 and 5 to take a 3-2 lead in the series — before Boston ripped off a 14-3 run to close the game, delivering the Celtics a series-tying victory and forcing this best-of-seven affair back here for a deciding game.

After Game 6, Harden said he was frustrated by a number of missed calls throughout the night.

«Tonight, it was just frustrating because I'm number one as far as fouls that don't get called,» Harden said after going 4-for-16 from the field, including 0-for-6 from 3-point range. «Like, it's a fact. So, it's frustrating as a player, when
