LeBron James Disappointed With Officiating In Lakers' Loss to Celtics
LeBron James expressed his disappointment with the officiating in Sunday's loss to the Boston Celtics with reporters in the postgame and later on social media.
“I don’t understand,” said James, who led the Miami Heat to championships in 2012 and 2013. “I don’t understand what we are doing and I watch basketball every single day. I watch these games every single day and I don’t see it happening to anyone else. It’s just weird.”
James was driving for the winning layup when it appeared he was fouled by Celtics forward Jayson Tatum but nothing was called. The Celtics went on to win the game in overtime.
James later further expressed his dissatisfaction on Twitter.
"That one hurt BIG TIME!!!," James wrote. "I don't understand."
The Lakers felt they were victims of unfair officiating.
We got cheated tonight,” Lakers power forward Anthony Davis said afterwards. “It’s a blatant foul… It’s unacceptable to be honest. The refs were bad tonight.”
