Houston Rockets coach Ime Udoka is likely to face a fine from the NBA following his harsh criticism of officials after a 128-125 overtime loss to the Denver Nuggets, which he labeled the “most poorly officiated game.” He expressed dissatisfaction with the officiating crew’s performance, particularly regarding calls against star players Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray, who scored a combined 74 points. Despite the loss dropping the Rockets to 16-7, the team remains strong this season, bolstered by Kevin Durant’s leadership. Udoka’s comments, deemed excessive, will likely result in a significant financial penalty before their next game.
