The Sacramento Kings and their fans are taking issue with the officiating in a game in Los Angeles against the Los Angeles Lakers.
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before.
Two key decisions by the referees ended up deciding the game last night. First came the foul call against Harrison Barnes with 5 seconds remaining. With the Kings in the penalty, LeBron James was sent to the line. He sank both free throws. There was certainly some contact on the play, but in the closing seconds of a tie game it seemed to be a tight whistle that benefited the league’s marquee player on the league’s marquee team.
