Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James ripped the NBA replay center on Monday night after the team lost Game 2 to the Denver Nuggets, 101-99.
LeBron James was upset with NBA officials, specifically at the replay center, after the Denver Nuggets topped the Los Angeles Lakers 101–99 thanks to a Jamal Murray buzzer-beater on Monday night. James was upset replay officials overturned a foul on Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr., with the league saying he made marginal contact with Lakers guard D’Angelo Russell on a second-half play. James made his frustrations known.
don’t understand what’s going on in the replay center, to be honest,' James said. 'D-Lo clearly gets hit in the face on the drive. What the f--- do we have a replay center ... it doesn’t make sense. It makes no sense. It bothers me.' James left the press conference after that. Los Angeles blew a 20-point second-half lead which ended with Murray’s game-winning shot. Murray hit the shot over Lakers center Anthony Davis.
just lost my balance and fell. I think A.D. was in my way or somebody was in my way and I just heard everybody scream and that's how I knew it went in,' Murray said. Murray missed 13 of his first 16 shots before hitting the most important one. 'I told my teammates when I was struggling, ‘I’m gonna look for y'all,' and every single one of them told me to keep shooting,' he said.
