LeBron James was hoping to lead the Lakers to a victory against the Celtics on Saturday at TD Garden—however, some questionable calls by officials in the final seconds of regulation resulted in the opposite outcome for the four-time NBA champion.
After Celtics star Jaylen Brown notched a free throw to the tie game at 105, James drove to the basket to try and convert a layup within the final four seconds of the game. He undoubtedly took on some contact from MVP candidate Jayson Tatum in the process, but officials didn’t call a foul and the game went into overtime.
