Jarrett Allen concluded the game with a new career-high 33 points, earning plaudits from both his teammates and head coach J.B. Bickerstaff for his performance.

The other locker room wasn't as pleased. Rudy Gobert vented his anger and suggested the officials' calls were motivated by something else.

He said, "I made some mistakes" (The Athletic). "I missed a dunk." Things go wrong. Even the referees make mistakes. But sometimes I feel like it's more than flaws.

I believe everyone in this league knows. I believe things will get better... Even though the bets and other things are getting bigger, it shouldn't feel that way.

These claims are extremely serious, and it is highly possible that the All-Star calibre centre will be subject to a fine as a consequence.

It is true that Cleveland did make a disproportionate number of free throws. On the other hand, the fouls that Gobert committed certainly appear to constitute foul behaviour.

The over-and-back call that ended up becoming Rudy's fifth personal foul is clearly visible, and it is clear that Allen's jersey was tugged during the play.

As a further point of interest, there were undoubtedly times during the game when the Cavaliers felt dissatisfied with the officiating as well.

During the first quarter, Gobert yanked Dean Wade to the ground, and he looked at the referee with his hands in the air, unable to believe that he had not been called for a foul during the incident.

Rudy Gobert Calls Out NBA Officials Following Loss To Cavaliers
