In a post-game interview following a narrow 114-108 loss to the Orlando Magic, Trae Young expressed frustrations about what he perceived as one-sided officiating against his team. He noted that the Magic received significantly more free-throw opportunities. Young reflected on the overall coarseness of the game, alluding to moments where players laughed at non-calls. Despite the Hawks' respect for some referees, he remarked that certain officials treat interactions too personally, which can hinder fair play, especially in crucial games as teams vie for playoff positions.
They shot 10 more free throws than us. And I mean, I feel like if you asked anybody around the league, you would know that they're probably a more physical team that we are.
You just wish that you can get some refs that just don't take things personal and understand that people grow.
I feel like the refs have been responsive for the most part. But then you get a few, a handful that are just, I mean, take (stuff) personal.
