Play will be heavy and you will have sleepless nights as you strive to be the best referee.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">In Saturday night&#8217;s tied game in Boston, James got the ball about 35 feet from the basket with 4.1 seconds remaining. He split two defenders as he entered the lane, got airborne and also passed Jayson Tatum.<\/p>\n<aside aria-label=\"advertisement\" class=\"gnt_m gnt_x gnt_x__lbl gnt_x__al\"\/>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">James placed the ball with his left hand, Tatum clearly touched James&#8217; shooting arm, the foul was not called and the game went into overtime. Had the foul been called, James would have had the opportunity to lead the Lakers with 1.8 seconds remaining and the free throw he would have been on the line.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\"><strong>Follow all games:<\/strong> Latest NBA Scores &#038; Schedules<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">The Celtics won 125-121 after overtime.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"gnt_em gnt_em_tw\" data-g-r=\"lazy\" data-gl-method=\"loadTwitter\" data-v-id=\"1619548076363980800\" aria-label=\"Twitter Embed\"\/>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\"><strong class=\"gnt_ar_b_al\">Lakers:<\/strong>Beverly gets technical for showing reference camera after LeBron didn&#8217;t get a call<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\"><strong>LeBron James Tracker:<\/strong> Kareem Abdul-Jabbar races to break NBA points record<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\"><strong>2023 All-Star Starters:<\/strong> LeBron James gets 19th selection<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">&#8220;Honestly, I was cheated tonight&#8230;.unacceptable,&#8221; Lakers forward Anthony Davis said after the game.<\/p>\n<aside aria-label=\"advertisement\" class=\"gnt_m gnt_x gnt_x__lbl gnt_x__al\"\/>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">NBA admitted the foul should have been called immediately after the game \u2014 \u201cThere was contact. Lewis told Poole reporters \u2014 and reaffirmed it in Sunday&#8217;s report detailing calls made and missed in the final two minutes of regulation and overtime.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">The Lakers entered the Western Conference 23-27 on Sunday the 13th, just two games behind the final play-in spot and four games behind the fourth-placed Los Angeles Clippers.

Injuries are the cause. James has left his ankle sore and Davis continues to deal with a stress injury in his right leg.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">James reacted with impeccable animation after a mis-call on Tatum&#8217;s play, quickly pointing his arm and eventually falling onto the court, resting on his knee and elbow when he tried to grip without a foul being called. .<\/p>\n<aside aria-label=\"advertisement\" class=\"gnt_m gnt_x gnt_x__lbl gnt_x__al\"\/>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Lakers guard Patrick Beverly brought cameras onto the court during the ensuing stoppage to show Lewis images of the contact.
