‘We got cheated’: Celtics, Lakers react to controversial non-call in Boston’s victory over LA

LeBron James had a shot to win the game for the Lakers over the Celtics in the last moments of regulation on Saturday night.

Right after Jaylen Brown’s made basket and ensuing free-throw tied the game at 105-105 with four seconds remaining, James was able to drive to the rim and got a shot off while appearing to be fouled by Jayson Tatum. However, James missed the layup, and no foul was called on the Celtics star, sending the game to overtime, where Boston eventually pulled away to win 125-121.

After the game, the Lakers were understandably upset by the officiating.
