Chris Paul criticizes official Scott Foster after loss to Rockets

Chris Paul is eliminated from the playoffs, but he didn’t leave the NBA Bubble without taking one last shot at much-criticized NBA official Scott Foster.

Foster, who has a long history with both the Rockets’ James Harden and Paul, whistled the Oklahoma City point guard for a delay of game that resulted in a technical foul shortly before halftime of the Rockets’ 104-102 Game 7 win Wednesday night.

After the loss, Paul said before the delay of game was called, he was indeed stalling by tying his shoe so he could get a peek at a replay to see if the Thunder should challenge the previous call.
