Wednesday’s thrilling game between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Houston Rockets was marred by controversy after Naz Reed was ejected in overtime.

Reed was ejected with 4:13 remaining in the extension after arguing with referee Scott Foster following an offensive foul call. Reid was whistled for a violation against Alpern Sengun, but the Timberwolves challenged it. The review upheld the decision, prompting Reed to say something. However, Foster was not having it and threw Reed out.

The Timberwolves were trailing, 100–95. That time. They eventually won the game 110–108. Naz Reed finished with 14 points, 13 rebounds, two steals and two blocks.

Ax fans became angry at Foster, who also heard his controversial decision from the crowd at the Target Center.

@akwolvesfan said, “Scott Foster nailed it for this team. Sengun was still moving his left foot (not set) while Naz was in his shooting pace.”

@christ_finch said, “I feel true hatred for Sengun and Scott Foster. I don’t have the slightest respect for either of them. It feels so good to beat both of them.”

“Scott Foster deserves to go to jail,” @minnyshow19 wrote.

@Td00392420 commented, “Scott Foster is a kid.”

@imonlymason posted, “I’m afraid Julius Randle’s hatred for Scott Foster will completely conquer me again.”

@ravenluke said, “Even Tim Donaghy thinks Scott Foster is embarrassing.”

Chris Paul tried to warn us.

This isn’t the first time that Foster has been slammed by fans for his questionable actions. He is one of the most experienced referees in the NBA.

His relationship with Donaghy, the disgraced referee convicted of game-fixing, was questioned a few years ago.

Minnesota won four of its last five assignments to move to 45–28, while Houston fell to 43–29.

Julius Randle sank the game-winning bucket with 8.8 seconds remaining to lead the Minnesota Timberwolves past the Houston Rockets 110-108 in overtime on Wednesday at Target Center.

The Timberwolves had to come back In an expansion to dispose of the Rockets and improve to 45-28.

They also had to endure the loss of Naz Reed in overtime after he was ejected by referee Scott Foster after a critical call.

Randle’s courageous basket felt like poetic justice for the Timberwolves, and the veteran forward made his true feelings known after the game, as SB Nation’s Ryan Eichten reported.

“Julius Randle is walking down the hallway to the locker room right now: ‘Scott Foster didn’t do this,'” Eichten wrote on X.

The Timberwolves were trailing by five points when Reid scored with 4:13 left in overtime.

Randle finished with 24 points, six rebounds, six assists and two steals, while Reed had 14 points, 13 rebounds, two steals and two blocks.

In a postgame interview with ESPN, the 31-year-old Randle Gave credit for this to my colleaguesAlso admitted that they now have the tie-breaker against the Rockets.

“We’re ready for now. It’s as simple as that,” Randall said.

“It feels good. We took care of business, especially at home. We’ve got another game against this team, so it’s important for us to get it done. I’m very proud of our team, for the resiliency we showed. Everyone stepped up and made big plays at different points in the game.”

“We are ready for now.” 😤

Jaden McDaniels added 25 points, two steals and two blocks, while Rudy Gobert added 14 points, 14 rebounds and five blocks.

The Timberwolves are still without Anthony Edwards due to a knee injury.

杜克大學先發後衛凱萊佈福斯特右腳骨折，將無限期缺席。

杜克大學教練喬恩·謝爾週二宣佈福斯特週日接受了手術，並補充說這位大三學生將缺席「可預見的」時間。

謝耶並不排除福斯特在本賽季剩餘的比賽中缺席的情況，但他承認，排名第一的藍魔隊必須在 NCAA 錦標賽中取得長足的進步，福斯特才能回歸。

杜克大學中鋒派崔克恩貢巴二世(Patrick Ngongba II)因腳部酸痛而受傷，他也將缺席本週的ACC錦標賽。謝爾表示，他希望恩貢巴能夠健康回歸參加NCAA錦標賽。

身高6英尺5英寸的福斯特是杜克大學的第四號得分手，本賽季在31場比賽中場均貢獻8.5分和2.8次助攻。他在周六對北卡羅來納州的比賽中上半場腳部受傷，沒有復出。

福斯特的缺席意味著藍魔隊可能會使用新秀後衛凱登·布澤爾擔任更重要的角色。週六，布澤爾在對陣北卡羅來納大學的比賽中出場 29 分鐘，主要頂替福斯特的位置，最終拿下 7 分和 5 個籃板。

身高 6 英尺 11 英寸的恩貢巴也沒有參加北卡羅來納大學的比賽，本賽季場均得到 10.7 分和 6.0 個籃板。

頭號種子藍魔隊將於週四在 ACC 錦標賽四分之一決賽中對陣佛羅裡達州或加利福尼亞州。
