Knicks coach Mike Brown angry over foul calls after Game 3 loss: ‘Never thought I’d see that’

• Spurs had 24-8 free-throw advantage in second half

• Towns: Officiating didn’t cost us the game

• San Antonio took 2-1 lead with Game 3 win

Knicks coach Mike Brown had harsh words for the officials about what he characterized as inconsistent foul calls in New York’s 115-111 loss to the San Antonio Spurs in Game 3 of the NBA finals.

The Spurs took 24 free throws to the Knicks’ eight in the second half Monday night at Madison Square Garden. Fourteen of San Antonio’s attempts came in the third quarter, when New York took just three. In the final period, frustrations boiled over: the Knicks were whistled three times in the opening 64 seconds, and within three minutes they were in the bonus.
