The Los Angeles Lakers contacted the NBA league office Tuesday about what they view as numerous missed foul calls in Monday's 108-107 loss to the Miami Heat, sources told ESPN.
The Lakers' main point of contention is how LeBron James was officiated, according to sources. The Lakers shared various clips showing what they believe to be clear illegal contact by Heat defenders against James that went unnoticed by the referees.
James attempted four free throws against Miami, dropping his season average to 5.7 attempts per game, which would tie a single-season career-low should it sustain.
