“I Got Off My Couch and Ran Around”: Lakers’ Patrick Beverley Still a Fan Favorite As Wrong Dunk Claim Gets Thrown Out of the Window

The Saturday night game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics was nothing short of a pure sports drama. The Lakers lost to the Celtics in overtime after a dramatic finish to the 4th quarter buzzer. The referees failed to call a blatant foul on the stroke of the buzzer, leaving LeBron James in disbelief. Following the game, the NBA Twitter erupted with various opinions on the game. However, a Patrick Beverley claim after the game triggered a response from the Lakers star himself. The fans flooded in with thoughts following Beverley’s reaction.

The Lakers suffered a frustrating 125-121 defeat against the Celtics in overtime. James ran down the lane against three Celtics’ defense to take up a lead with less than four seconds left in the 4th quarter. Jayson Tatum’s hand clearly touched James’ hand during his layup. But the referee failed to call a foul. Following the game, Beverley went up to the officials with proof in his hand for an argument. However, it went in vain. Moreover, he further won fans’ hearts with his recent tweet.

In the clip, the Lakers’ star rebounded a ball with a putback dunk leaving the players and the spectators in surprise. Significantly, the dunk left King James in utter disbelief as he stood there unmoved. The sports page also included a tweet that read, “LeBron James couldn’t believe Patrick Beverley’s putback dunk for the lead. It’s Pat Bev’s first dunk since the 2019-20 season.” Responding to the tweet, Pat Bev wrote, “Nope not true. Dunked in playoffs last year. Get ya facts right.”
