Grizzlies forward complains about NBA referees favoring Kevin Durant

Following the Grizzlies' 119-109 home loss on Friday against the Houston Rockets, the Memphis sensation offered grievances as to how Kevin Durant gets much more favorable whistles.

"I'm not going to sugarcoat it. I felt as I was getting downhill, being physical as I usually am, getting no calls. But (Durant) can jab-step, jab-step and just jump up and down and your hand can be right there and you can clearly see on the replay nobody touched him," Jackson said.

Durant dropped 25 points across 35 minutes to lead the Rockets. He shot 8-of-14 from the field and nailed six of his seven free throws.

Particularly, the entire Houston team shot 19-of-26 from the foul line, significantly higher over what Jackson and the Grizzlies have tallied (16-of-18).

"You got Tari Eason [saying], 'Bruh, you not KD.' On this court right now, I'm the closest one to him," Jackson added, who delivered 14 points in the losing effort. "It's unbelievable how the referees can suck up to somebody.

"He's the GOAT, so I respect him. As far as us other guys, we bust our [butt] like he does, too. We tie our shoes like he ties his shoes. Next game mentality, so got to flush this one."
