Shortly after the New York Knicks\u2019 Game 3 defeat<\/a> in the NBA Finals, Mike Brown turned his attention to the officiating.<\/p>\n

“I talked to [the officials]. They outshot us 14-3 in the third quarter from the free throw line. I talked to them, and they said, well, this is a foul, this is a foul,” Brown told reporters<\/a> after the San Antonio Spurs trimmed the Knicks’ series lead to 2-1. “That’s the question I had with them is, you’re right. Maybe we did foul. But they fouled, too.”<\/p>\n

Karl-Anthony Towns, one of the catalysts behind New York\u2019s postseason success, struck a different tone ahead of Game 4.<\/p>\n

“Naw, that ain\u2019t cost us the game,” Towns told reporters<\/a> when asked about Brown\u2019s comments. “Turned the ball over. Didn\u2019t execute. Didn\u2019t do what got us 13 straight wins in a row. That\u2019s how you lose a game. We didn\u2019t do what we’ve been doing for 13. We decided to do something different. \u2026 And throwing the ball away is a clear indication of how you\u2019re going to lose the game, especially in the playoffs.”<\/p>\n

The box score seemed to underscore Brown’s primary complaint, as the Spurs attempted three times as many free throws as the Knicks in the second half of Monday’s 115-111 victory.<\/p>\n

The Knicks<\/a> were in the penalty for the majority of the fourth quarter. A cold-shooting second half saw New York connect on 36% of its field-goal attempts.<\/p>\n

While it remains to be seen whether officiating will play a role in Wednesday night\u2019s game at Madison Square Garden, Brown appeared intent on making it part of the buildup to Game 4.<\/p>\n

“It’s going to be that because I said it. The story is going to be there,” Brown continued during a news conference. “But there are some controllables that we did not do a good job of doing. We allowed them to hit first at the beginning of the game. We allowed them to hit first in the beginning of the second half.”<\/p>\n

Towns finished Game 3 with 11 points and eight rebounds, a noticeable drop from his team-high 21-point performance in New York\u2019s Game 2 victory over the Spurs. Jalen Brunson led the Knicks in scoring Monday with 32 points.<\/p>\n

Game 4 tips off at 8:30 p.m. EDT, with the series<\/a> returning to San Antonio for Game 5 on Saturday.<\/p>\n
