The Oklahoma City Thunder lost in heartbreaking fashion against the Golden State Warriors on Friday in their first in-season tournament game, 141-139.
Without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the Thunder went toe-to-toe against the veteran Warriors in the high-scoring affair. It looked like the game was going to go into overtime before a controversial overturned call ended the contest.
On a Steph Curry shot attempt, Draymond Green was initially called for offensive goaltend that would’ve wiped away the lead and kept the game tied at 139 apiece with less than a second left.
Instead, a lengthy review resulted in the call being overturned, creating a basket for Golden State, as the referees explained Josh Giddey touched the net before Green did.
After the game, Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault explained that Green’s touch didn’t impact the play, which added fuel to the fire as the controversial call caused an uproar on social media.
Let’s look at some of the best posts reacting to the final call on X, formerly known as Twitter.
