NBA playoffs: LeBron James run-in leaves crew chief Scott Foster with bloody mouth in Nuggets-Lakers

Getting in LeBron James' way is a dangerous business, even if you're an NBA official.

Crew chief Scott Foster was left with a bloody mouth when James inadvertently ran into him near the end of the second quarter of Game 3 of the Western Conference finals between the Los Angeles Lakers and Denver Nuggets. Replay showed James had hit Foster with his shoulder while looking across the court in transition.

Play was briefly stopped as Foster had his mouth treated by medical personnel, but he remained in the game and apparently in good spirits as the game started back up.
