LeBron James Leads Lakers to Victory Despite Clock Error
In a thrilling match against the Memphis Grizzlies, LeBron James once again showed why he is considered one of the greatest basketball players of all time. The Los Angeles Lakers’ star made a crucial steal late in the game, leading to a breakaway dunk that sealed the win for his team.
However, the game was not without controversy, as the NBA confirmed that there was an error in the game clock during the third quarter. An extra minute of game time was added after the shot clock was mistakenly reset following two consecutive air balls by the Grizzlies.
Despite the extra workload caused by the extended playing time, LeBron James and teammate Anthony Davis pushed through and delivered a strong performance. Lakers coach Darvin Ham acknowledged the heavy minutes played by his players, emphasizing the need to persevere during this challenging time of the year.
In the NBA’s Last Two Minute Report for the game, it was revealed that there were three incorrect calls that all worked in favor of the Lakers. This included missed traveling violations by LeBron James and a missed shooting foul by Rui Hachimura on GG Jackson, which ultimately led to a technical foul on Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins for arguing the non-call.
Looking ahead to the Lakers’ upcoming regular-season finale against the New Orleans Pelicans, LeBron James expressed readiness to continue leading his team to victory. Despite the challenges faced in the game against the Grizzlies, the Lakers are determined to finish the season strong and build momentum heading into the playoffs.
