LeBron James isn't a fan of the reversed foul between Buddy Hield and Celtics Jaylen Brown

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James let it be known on Tuesday that he isn't a fan of the reversed foul on Indiana Pacers guard Buddy Hield in a game against the Boston Celtics.

Late in the game on Monday, Boston's Jaylen Brown attempted a shot that Buddy Hield blocked from behind. Officials initially called Hield for a foul but reversed the call after a video review. Indiana won the game, 133-131.

After the game, Hield admitted he likely got lucky.

"Angels were with me there I feel like," Hield said. "Angels were with me. I hit ball, but I felt like I touched him, but I felt like it wasn't a lot of contact. I can't really tell. That's why they have the replay set-up. That's why they have three refs out there. So you have to honor that call."

James let it be known that he didn't agree with the reversed call.

"JB clearly got hit in the back of the head. They reviewed the play, just to reverse it and say he didn't. MAN WHAT!!" James said in part on X.
