After the league determined Russell Westbrook was not fouled on the final possession of Sunday's loss to the Sixers, LeBron James took to Twitter to vent his frustration with officiating.
Quote tweeting a fan's assertion that the NBA has a "Huge Scandal" on its hands with the way games are being officiated because the league office is "altering their own definition of the rules," James said the referees' game management has been a recurring problem for his team this season.
"At one point tonight, I had 22 points and 20 of them were in the paint. Last game, I got bumped, knocked off the path a few times and at halftime, the refs came to me and told me they missed it," James said at the time. "That's kind of been what they've been telling me over the last couple years -- that they just missed it."
