He didn't comment on the quality of the officiating. He merely said that if you have a 20 point lead you shouldn't put yourself in a position to let officiating decide the game.

 
A more accurate viewpoint is that bad officiating put us in a position to lose the game.  They got 36 FT attempts to our 14.  How do you defend when they are getting foul calls every time we get close to them?  Even if the FTs alone didn't cost us the game, I thought we played less physically on defense and were less aggressive on rebounding as the game went on to avoid getting the calls.  That's how bad officiating helps to decide the game.
