In a recent NBA game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Memphis Grizzlies, an unexpected game clock error added more than a minute to the match. A league spokesperson confirmed that the shot clock was set inaccurately after a shot clock violation, resulting in an extra 1 minute and 6 seconds of game time.
Despite this error, the Lakers managed to secure a narrow victory over the undermanned Grizzlies with a final score of 123-120. LeBron James played a pivotal role in the win, scoring six straight points in the final minute of the game to ensure the Lakers came out on top.
With the Grizzlies missing key players due to various reasons, the Lakers’ coach opted to heavily rely on stars James and Anthony Davis, who played extended minutes due to the roster situation. However, James remains unfazed by the increased workload and is confident it won’t impact his readiness for the next game.
Following the game, the NBA released its Last Two Minute Report, revealing three incorrect calls that favored the Lakers. These errors included a missed traveling violation on James, a missed shooting foul on a Grizzlies player, and the correct decision to hand a technical foul to the Grizzlies coach for arguing a non-call.
Despite the controversy surrounding the game, the Lakers emerged victorious and will now look to build on this win in their upcoming matches. With James leading the charge, the team remains focused on their goal of securing a playoff spot in the competitive Western Conference.
