A visibly upset head coach Monty Williams entered the postgame room and expressed his frustrations but once more about free throw disparity towards his group, because the Phoenix Suns fell towards the Los Angeles Lakers, 122-111 on Wednesday evening.

“Forty-six free throws. And I’ll say it again, 46 to 20. That’s it. That’s all I got to say,” Williams stated, by way of Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic.

“I’m tired of talking about free throws. Our guys have to do their job, we understand that, but that’s a huge disparity.”

For context, Los Angeles massively overlapped Phoenix by way of foul photographs. L.A. went on the line 46 occasions (36 profitable makes) over the Suns’ 20 (15 profitable makes).

The Suns fouled the Lakers 31 occasions all through the match. This season, they’re positioned twenty sixth by way of private fouls rating with 21.4 averages a recreation.

Williams was additionally in disbelief with how the Lakers elevated their 26 shot makes an attempt from halftime by fully turning it to 46 till the ultimate buzzer. The difficult Austin Reaves had essentially the most journeys with 12-of-13 capturing, which was adopted by 7-of-10 from Anthony Davis.

“I can sit here and rant and rave about what I feel like is not a fair whistle,” Williams stated. “It’s just not. Forty-six free throws. We’re doing the same thing. We’re attacking the rim. I’m getting explanations about we’re taking too many jump shots, midrange jump shots. We’re playing a physical game. They had 27 free throws in the first half. They end up with 46. When do you see a game with 46 free throws for one team? That’s just not right.”

Williams already made a rant final Mar. 14 when the Milwaukee Bucks appeared 37 occasions to the road over the Suns’ 16. In these 37 makes an attempt, Giannis Antetokounmpo occupied the most important chunk together with his 24 photographs.

With the loss, the fourth-placed Suns dropped to 38-34. A loss subsequent recreation towards the Sacramento Kings on Friday may drop them as little as the sixth-seed.

“I don’t care how you slice it, it’s happening too much,” Williams stated. “Other teams are reaching, other teams are hitting and we’re not getting the same call and I’m tired of it. It’s old.”
