The Houston Rockets gave the officiating crew an earful in Game 5 against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Not only did Rockets team owner Les Alexander challenge Bill Kennedy in the middle of a possession, but one courtside fan also shared trash talk with Marc Davis during a break in play in the third quarter.
"You need to go to referee school," a fan can be heard shouting, to which Davis coolly responded while wiping the ball, "I actually have my doctorate in refereeing."
For what it's worth, the Rockets shot 39 free throws Tuesday.
