What happened

Three games, three losses, and a fanbase that found someone to blame for each. Charlotte took the opener 110-103, and the officiating got it: "That woman ref was a fucking joke all night." The turn came in Cleveland, a 125-121 loss where a flagrant on Harden convinced the room the whole thing was "rigged from the start." Then Indiana's 136-109 visit removed the mystery. Sean Marks caught strays, effort caught more, and 0-3 caught everybody. Blaming referees requires believing the games were close.
