Buddy Hield fumes over ‘the refs, the refs, the refs’ as Bahamas falls to Spain

By ADAM ZAGORIA

The Bahamas’ bid to reach the Paris Olympics ended at the hands of Spain on Sunday, and guard Buddy Hield says the referees were largely to blame.

“The refs, the refs, the refs,” Hield said of the “the crucial part” of the Bahamas’ 86-78 loss to Spain in Valencia.

The Bahamas shot 10-of-13 from the line while Spain shot 23-of-25.

“I know we’re in Spain,” said Hield, who was recently traded to the Golden State Warriors from the Philadelphia 76ers.
