The Phoenix Suns have been eliminated from the NBA In-Season Tournament with a 106-103 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers.
However, it did not end with some controversy. The Lakers were granted a timeout with seven seconds left even though no team had possession.
The ball was DEFINITELY loose. I don't see how the referees grant a timeout here. pic.twitter.com/ZlaxGXpCx6

Fans and even NBA players couldn’t believe the call, especially because it was LeBron James who called the timeout.
