Anthony Davis leaves the game after sustaining an eye contusion and LeBron James and the Lakers can't fully overcome his absence in a 128-121 loss.
LeBron James sat in front of his locker after a generic Lakers game this season when the prospect of his team surviving without Anthony Davis was mentioned. James, moving as quickly as he has all season, said the obvious. “No chance.” So even as James did his best, gritting through fatigue to barrel down the court past and through the Golden State Warriors defense, the most important parts of the game were happening in the locker room.
That stoppage was one of a handful of fourth-quarter clock issues that began with the Warriors receiving four extra seconds on one possession when the shot-clock mysteriously reset to 24 after 14 seconds had expired. Then, after the Lakers won an out-of-bounds challenge, timing officials struggled to get the game restarted — more than 15 minutes of real time expiring before the game could resume. After one stoppage, James slammed the ball down in frustration.
