With just 4 seconds remaining on the clock, the Los Angeles Lakers trusted their leading scorer with the ball. There were three Boston Celtics players who were guarding the rim, LeBron James still made his way to the basket wherein Jayson Tatum clearly hit his arm as Bron missed the layup.

While the contact was clear, LeBron James was confident in the whistle being blown as he was coming down. However, the NBA refs did the unthinkable by completing ignoring the foul. As a result of which, Patrick Beverley even got the game camera right in the face of an NBA ref to show the proof.

LeBron James dropped game-high 41 points against Boston Celtics

The Marcus Smart less-Boston Celtics had no answer to stop the wrath of LeBron James, who dropped 41 points. Although both Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown combined to drop 67 points. Brown in particular was spectacular with his 11 points in the overtime.
