After no foul call was made on Oubre's drive for an attempted game winner at the end of the 108-107 76ers loss, Nurse stormed onto the court and had to be restrained by his assistants. Oubre also jumped into the mix, pointing at each of the three officials before being pulled away.
Oubre publicly apologized for"losing my cool" after the game but also elaborated on why he went after the officials. "I saw Coach Nurse getting riled up, and if our coach is going to fight for us and he's going there, then I'm right behind him," Oubre said."But at the end of the day, it wasn't cool. So I'll take whatever penalties come with that and you have to move on, but I got to be better in a sense."
