"It's outrageous. What happened tonight, this is completely B.S.," the first-year Serbian head coach said after the game. "This is shame. Shame for the referees. Shame for the league to allow this. Twenty-three free throws for them, and we get two free throws in the fourth quarter? Like, how to play the game? I understand respect for All-Stars and all that, but we have star players on our team as well.

"How (is it) possible that Scottie Barnes, who is All-Star-caliber player in this league, he goes every single time to the rim with force and trying to get to the rim without flopping and not trying to get foul calls, he gets two free throws for a whole game?" he added as he slapped the table repeatedly.

"How is that possible? How are you going to explain that to me?"
