LeBron James and Lakers in disbelief over no-foul call in overtime loss to Celtics
LeBron James, looking more and more like a player who is going to smash through the NBA’s all-time scoring record sooner rather than later, dominated the game with scoring, rebounding and passing, finishing with 41 points, nine rebounds and eight assists.
Beverley’s missed free throw in the final minute of the fourth quarter kept the Lakers from icing the game — much like misses from the line cost them wins against Philadelphia and Boston earlier in the season. The offensive rebound came after a defensive miscommunication gave Boston’s Al Horford a clean look at a game-tying three — that he missed badly.
And there are still the questions about Russell Westbrook and his place within the Lakers’ formula for winning and the persistent shooting concerns, all of which arise anytime the discussion is about the Lakers’ ability to seriously contend for anything other than an early playoff exit.He started 0 for 6 before scoring his first points from the free-throw line. He finished regulation on the bench, sitting for the entirety of the fourth quarter with eight points, seven assists and five turnovers.
“You bring him along slowly, you know what I mean? And allow him to play himself back into rhythm,” Ham said. “Just being healthy is half the battle. You have to be healthy and be in rhythm. That’s going to take a little bit of time. Especially for a perimeter player, I think it’s difficult on both ends.”
