LeBron James, Lakers criticize officiating after Game 2 loss to Nuggets

After their heartbreaking 101-99 loss to the Denver Nuggets in Game 2 of their first-round playoff series on Monday night, the Lakers criticized the officiating. Lakers star LeBron James was the most direct with his comments. “I don't understand what's going on in the replay center, to be honest,” James said. The play James appeared to be referring to was when Michael Porter Jr. was assessed a foul for hitting Russell across the face on a drive to the basket with 40 seconds left in the third quarter.
