The New York Knicks fans are not above letting the officials know how they feel about anything.

In the second quarter of Game 3 of the NBA Finals, San Antonio Spurs guard Stephon Castle ran over New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson as a shot attempt went up and he tried to maneuver in for a rebound.

The officials reviewed the play during a timeout and determined that no further action was needed, other than a loose-ball foul on Castle.

But the Knicks faithful let it be known they were not pleased, with chants such as "bulls---," and “refs you suck”, that had the censors clearly napping on the job as it came through loud and clear on the broadcast on ABC.

The Knicks stormed back from a 12-point first-quarter deficit and took a 64-57 lead at halftime.
