The Knicks' Mike Brown has criticized referees for not calling out a free-throw discrepancy during their 109-108 Game 3 loss against the Hawks, stating that the team was not receiving deserved fouls due to the Hawks' ability to close out on 3-point shooters. Brown's comments came in response to questions about the officiating, which he believes is difficult for the team to handle. The Knicks' lineup, which Brown used for most of the fourth quarter, was plus-24 in 14 minutes of the game, and Brown's assessment of the team's performance is not yet conclusive.
