When Jayson Tatum hit his arm and his final layup attempt of regulation fell short, LeBron James was enraged.
He jumped up and down, grabbed his arm, and dropped to his hands and knees pausing for dramatic effect.
He believed he was fouled, and his concerns were validated after the game.
“There was contact,” referee Eric Lewis told Adam Himmelsbach of The Boston Globe during a pool report. “At the time, during the game, we did not see a foul. The crew missed the play.”
If the foul was called, James would have had a chance to win the game at the free-throw line.
