On January 24, Beijing time, in the Nets' away defeat to the Timberwolves, Harden certainly only had a sluggish performance of 4 of 13, including 4 of 4 three-pointers, plus only 4 of 4 free throws, only 13 points, 5 rebounds and 13 assists, but sent 6 mistakes. Harden complained after the game that he did not get the same treatment in the penalty decision, after all, the Nets lost 16 times 15-31 in the number of free throws, and Irving also said that Harden did not get the respect he deserved, complaining that the penalty was inconsistent.
Harden ushered in a backcourt battle with former tennis star Russell, Harden only had 13 points and 13 assists on 4 of 13, while Russell had 23 points and 10 assists on 7 of 13, which was undoubtedly an important contributor to the victory over Harden as a Timberwolves.
Harden expressed dissatisfaction with the unfair penalty he suffered during the game after the game, believing that he did not receive the same treatment, and Harden also said that it was frustrating.
Nets coach Nash also talked about this problem, saying that Harden did not benefit from the decision, and believed that he was targeted in some games, and hoped that the referee would balance out the law enforcement process. You know, the Nets lost 16 times 15-31 free throws in this game, while the Nets had 12 more fouls 29-17.
Irving also supported Harden after the game, and shouted for Harden, "I just want to play in the standard of the same whistle, some of Harden's violations should be treated with due respect." Of course, Owen also refused to talk about the difference between blowing penalties and the past, and also ridiculed that he had just been fined.
