The Golden State Warriors took a tough 124-115 loss to the Atlanta Hawks, but what really had fans fuming wasn’t the score—it was the refs. Late in the first quarter, Trae Young found himself double-teamed by Jimmy Butler and Kevon Looney, picked up his dribble, and quite literally walked past half-court. No dribble. No whistle. Just vibes.
To make matters worse, Young dished it to Georges Niang, who set up Caris LeVert for a buzzer-beater, extending the Hawks’ lead to 40-23. Steve Kerr has been begging for the league to crack down on traveling, but clearly, the memo got lost.
Young still balled out with 25 points and 10 assists, while Niang dropped 23 off the bench. Jimmy Butler tried to carry the Warriors with 25 points, but without Steph Curry (pelvic contusion), it wasn’t enough.
Once again, officiating drama takes center stage, and the Warriors are left wondering if the rules even apply anymore.
