Lakers LeBron James Only Interests Mavericks If Contract Bought Out

Overview

  • The league ruled LeBron James’ late contest on Dillon Brooks’ go-ahead three a correct no-call because Brooks extended his left leg into the contact.
  • Assessing Brooks a second technical for confronting James with 12.2 seconds left was deemed correct, leading to his ejection.
  • The review upheld the foul on Devin Booker against James’ final three-point attempt after Phoenix’s unsuccessful coach’s challenge.
  • Two errors were acknowledged earlier: an uncalled Brooks foul on Marcus Smart that would have fouled him out, and an uncalled offensive foul on Luka Dončić for kicking his leg into Brooks.
  • The Lakers won 116-114 with a decisive edge in free throws and rebounding, as leaked profane exchanges and Rich Paul’s on-air comments extended debate over the rivalry and officiating.
