LeBron James Questions NBA Replay System After Controversial Call in Lakers' Loss

James' potential game-tying 3-pointer ruled a 2-pointer, sparking debate over the efficacy of the NBA's replay process.

  • LeBron James' potential game-tying 3-pointer was ruled a 2-pointer in the Lakers' loss to the Timberwolves, leading to James questioning the NBA's replay process.
  • The controversial ruling occurred in the final seconds of the game, with the referees determining that James' toe was on the 3-point line when he shot, making the basket worth only two points.
  • Despite James and the Lakers' protests, the call was upheld after a video review at the NBA replay center in Secaucus, New Jersey.
  • James expressed his frustration after the game, arguing that the replay clearly showed his foot was behind the line and questioning the purpose of the replay system if it still gets calls wrong.
  • The loss dropped the Lakers to just 3-7 in their past 10 games since winning the inaugural in-season tournament championship in Las Vegas earlier this month.
