J.B. Bickerstaff flames refs for free throw gap after Pistons' Game 4 loss
"There's no way that one guy on their team shoots more free throws than our team," Pistons coach J.B. Bickerstaff said after Cavaliers won Game 4.
Donovan Mitchell attempted 15 free throws in Game 4 on Monday night in Cleveland. The Detroit Pistons had 12 as a team compared to 34 for the Cleveland Cavaliers . And the Pistons were whistled for 27 fouls to 15 by the Cavs.
The Pistons' coach bickered about it postgame at Rocket Arena. "It's unacceptable," coach J. B.
Bickerstaff said after the Pistons' 112-103 loss tied the series . "Ever since we came to Cleveland, the whistle has changed. There's no way that one guy on their team shoots more free throws than our team.
We're not a settle team, we're not a jump-shooting team. We drive the ball, attack the paint. What was done out there tonight, it's frustrating, but we can't allow that to be the reason why.
