New York Liberty head coach Walt Hopkins voiced frustration at the officiating after a one-point loss to the fifth-seeded Phoenix Mercury in the first round of the WNBA playoffs on Thursday night.
The Mercury advanced over the eighth-seeded Liberty, 83-82, on a free throw by Brianna Turner with 0.4 seconds left. Sabrina Ionescu got a final 3-point heave off for the Liberty on the inbound and was potentially fouled, but there was no call. It didn't appear the officials reviewed it, either.
It was neither of those moments that Hopkins took issue with as much as it was his squad's treatment the entire game and season.
