LOS ANGELES -- A no-call on the Dallas Mavericks' Tim Hardaway Jr.'s defense on Troy Brown Jr.'s 3-point attempt at the end of regulation left L.A. in a foul mood Thursday night in the Lakers' eventual 119-115 double-overtime loss to the Mavs.
The Lakers stormed back from a 19-point first-quarter deficit to tie it in the fourth when LeBron James found Brown on the right wing for a potential game-winning 3 at the buzzer. Hardaway contested the shot and made contact with Brown's shooting hand and the ball at the point of release, causing the shot to fall well short of the basket.
