This Saturday, the Lakers lost to the Warriors (128-121). The outcome of this meeting could, however, have turned in favor of LeBron James and his team, except for one detail, since the King was denied a 3 point in the final seconds. Steve Kerr spoke about this arbitration decision.

 

The tension and intensity were at their height this Saturday during the meeting between the Warriors and the Lakers. In this decisive match in the home stretch towards the playoffs, it was the Dubs who gained the upper hand over their opponents. But for that, they can thank the immense shoes of LeBron James , who was denied his 3 points in money time.

Steve Kerr furious after LeBron James 3-point controversy

Although the Warriors were already leading by 7 units before this 3-point shot by LeBron James, the appearance of the match could have been different if the game had not had to be stopped for a long time so that the basket was finally canceled. In any case, this is what Steve Kerr suggests, he who then complained about this rule and this decision that seems like déjà vu for the superstar this season.

 

 

It was weird. Sometimes there are problems with the stopwatch, but this is the most extreme case I have seen. It’s unfortunate, I feel bad for the fans. It was a great match. And suddenly, we were just standing there looking at each other for a long time and wondering what to do. I don’t like this rule where you can go back and watch the video to see if the person is out of bounds.

I think it’s happened once or twice for LeBron’s 3-pointer this year. I would really like to get rid of this rule. I think we try so hard to ensure that the refereeing decisions are fair, but it’s at the expense of the rhythm and the spirit of the match. Who cares if the guy’s foot is on the line by a few millimeters? Is it really worth it for the referees to stop the game for 45 seconds and change everything? This is not my favorite rule.

Purple & Gold fans surely still have LBJ’s 3-pointer which had been changed for a 2-pointer at the end of the match against the Wolves still stuck in their throats, and they will be able to add this new episode to their disillusionment with the season.

While LeBron James thought he could orchestrate a comeback during the Lakers’ match against the Warriors, it was different after his canceled 3-point basket. And despite his team being victorious, Steve Kerr couldn’t help but express his anger at this rule .
