In the match played today in the NBA, the flash team of the season, the Sacramento Kings, came from behind and defeated the Toronto Raptors 124-123 away. Kings assistant coach Jordi Fernandez made Spanish basketball history.
One of the highlights of the game was the dismissal of Sacramento Kings coach Mike Brown. Mike Brown couldn’t get on his nerves when the referee first fouled Terence Davis and then a technical foul on De’Aaron Fox. The experienced coach attacked the field after the whistles, walked over to the referees and went to the locker room.
After Brown was ejected, Spanish assistant coach Jordi Fernandez took over the team. Fernandez, who took the lead when the score was 64-73, left the field with a victory at the end of the match.
Fernandez, 39, thus became the first Spanish basketball coach to manage an NBA team. Fernandez also tasted his first victory. After the match, the successful name made the following statements:
“It was an incredible win. Domas (Domantas Sabonis) and [De’Aaron] You see Fox’s performances. At the end of the match, they managed the game very well. The ball was in their hands, I didn’t have to do much. They brought us the win. I feel very good right now.”
With this result, the Sacramento Kings took their 15th win in their 27th game and placed 7th in the Western Conference. (Eurohoops)
