Ime Udoka blasts officials after Rockets loss to Bulls

Houston Rockets head coach Ime Udoka wasn’t happy with the officiating during Houston’s 132-124 loss to the Chicago Bulls on Monday night.

Udoka was ejected from the game in the closing moments after receiving two technical fouls, but his complaining continued into the postgame press conference. Specifically, he took umbrage with the technical called against him and a flagrant foul 1 that was called against Amen Thompson.

"Flagrant's soft as hell, it's nothing. And then the techs were soft, too," Udoka said. “I’m not about to complain about a soft crew. It is what it is.”
