Brittney Griner interrupts halftime interview to chastise refs: ‘Be f*cking better’

"Sorry, y'all."

"Hart makes body contact that is more than marginal to Hardaway Jr. and a foul should have been called."

"I'm sorry, that's a no-call!"

Many assumed ref Bill Vinovich was apologizing to Allen for a missed call, but Allen said their conversation was far different.

"I'd like to salute our military veterans. ...Personal foul, unnecessary roughness, return team."

"This game was absolutely stolen from us."

"You've gotta flag that."

"Come on, everybody."

"It's football. It's absurd."

"It's a shame when officiating has such a hand in a series like this."

"There's this impetus to speed things up and get games in a tidy window. That doesn't help."

"I've never seen anything like it."

"The kick hit the scoreboard...which is pretty odd. We're going to redo everything."

"You’ve got to be kidding me!"

"COWARD!"

"The calls down here aren't equal to the calls down there."

"[Fans] aren’t focused on the officials; therefore, we don’t believe it is necessary to belabor the point during the match."

"The official is clearly not aware that their mic is open."

"Damn it!"

"The people didn't come to see the officials. Let's be honest, they came to see the players."

"It was all directed at the referees. And that was spoiled brat behavior to me."

"I'll take that one, that's on me."

"I'm gonna call the league office today."

"The referee needs to turn in his certificate for being an official."
