On Wednesday night, the Los Angeles Lakers pulled off a remarkable comeback against the Los Angeles Clippers, winning by a score of 21 points to secure what is likely their best-ever victory of the year. It was a tough setback for the Clippers to add to their unsatisfactory February.
There was one missed call in the last two minutes of the game, according to the NBA’s Last Two Minute Report. With 1:38 left, James Harden fouled Anthony Davis while he was trying to get a rebound, according to the NBA. Daniel Theis went out of bounds, which allowed the Lakers to regain possession, so it turned out to be a pointless missed call.
In the last two minutes of the game, every other call and non-call was correctly called, according to the NBA. The Clippers lost that game on their own, so it didn’t appear like there were many significant problems with either side’s officiating, at least not in the closing moments.
The Clippers gave LeBron James carte blanche in the fourth quarter, allowing him to get the matchup he desired each and every time down the court. For the Clippers, who are at 6-5 in February and far from their dominance of December and January, it was as awful a loss as they could have had.
