LeBron James furieux contre les arbitres

LeBron James furious with NBA referees (DR)

On the Minnesota side this Saturday evening, the Lakers lost by two small points. Cruel for the players, especially given the scenario of the match. LeBron James was absolutely furious after a questionable whistle from the referees.

Despite a stratospheric Anthony Davis, the Lakers lost this Saturday night against the Wolves, 106-108. Unibrow finished with 33 points, 17 rebounds, 8 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks. A crazy match for the interior, but insufficient to leave Minnesota with a very important victory. However, the scenario of this meeting may be talked about for a while. In question ? This 3 points.

LeBron furious with the referees

2 seconds from the end of the match, LeBron thinks to equalize and force a possible overtime for the Angelinos. Except that the referees award him a 2 point and not a winning shot, putting the score at 106-107. The action is immediately reviewed by the referees to ensure the right decision, and this is where it gets complicated when we see the replays.

Difficult to give an exact verdict, but given the images, we would tend to give a 3 points for LeBron. The problem is that the NBA rule doesn’t work like that. The referee having given a 2 point on the action, the slow motion must clearly show that LeBron was behind the line to change his mind. So they refused. If the officials had awarded a 3-pointer to the base, the Lakers would have equalized.

James is convinced he is behind the line. He was furious at the time of the verdict:

This is obviously fake

The Lakers lost this Saturday following a more than questionable decision by the referees. Fans and players are furious, especially when we see the replays again. This is not going to help the reputation of the officials.
