Overview
- Jackson leveled the charge after Memphis fell 119-109 to Houston on Friday, when Kevin Durant had 25 points with 10 assists and six rebounds.
- Houston attempted 26 free throws to the Grizzlies’ 18, and Durant went to the line seven times.
- Jackson said “it’s unbelievable how the refs can suck up to somebody” and recalled Tari Eason telling him “bruh you not KD.”
- The loss was Memphis’ fifth straight during a rough stretch with one win in 14 games, with injuries pushing Jackson into a larger role as he scored 14 and averages about 12 a night.
- Players often face fines for public criticism of officials, yet as of Saturday no league discipline for Jackson had been announced.
