Calls Mount Against NBA Refs After Controversial Nikola Jokic Decision in Nuggets vs OKC Game 6

If you thought Game 6 between the Nuggets and Thunder would be all about buzzer-beaters and jaw-dropping plays, think again. The real MVP? The refs. Or should we say, the ref controversy? One questionable call involving Nikola Jokic sent Twitter into full meltdown mode.

The call in question? Chet Holmgren on a fast break, with nothing but open hardwood and Nikola Jokic trailing. Holmgren went up for the dunk—but mistimed his jump mid-air and had to settle for an awkward finger roll. It clanged off the rim. Jokic, barely contesting and looking more like a traffic cone under the basket, stood there in disbelief. Holmgren hit the floor, and to the shock of the Nuggets bench, the whistle blew—foul on Jokic.

Fans weren’t just mad. They were straight-up accusing the league of favoritism. Comments like “OKCrefs” and “The league hates Joker. It’s f—— ridiculous” didn’t hold back. Is Jokic cursed by the whistle, or is this just another chapter in the NBA’s refereeing soap opera?

When refs become the headline and not the players, you know something’s gone sideways. Are the officials handing the Thunder a helping hand, or is Jokic just unlucky in the playoff whistle lottery? Either way, the calls are mounting, the shade is flying, and this drama is far from over. Keep an eye out here for all the hilarious fan reactions!
