Of the controversial officiating decisions that Los Angeles Lakers fans were complaining about after their team lost to the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 4 on Sunday, the most egregious took place with just over 30 seconds left in the fourth quarter.

Luka Doncic was bringing the ball upcourt against Jaden McDaniels, who appeared to trip him, causing him to lose his balance. No foul was called, and the Lakers had to use their last timeout to prevent a turnover or an eight-second backcourt violation.
