‘NBA Refs Are Horrendous’: Fans Left Furious as Lakers Get Points Taken Off Due to Referee’s Error

The Los Angeles Lakers eye for their fifth win of the season. They are looking for a second straight win over the Houston Rockets. Their last game at Staples Center wasn’t an enjoyable one as none of the ‘Big 3’ had a great night. However, tonight LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook are putting on a display. However, referees are not on their best tonight.

In their first matchup, both teams failed to reach the 50% mark while shooting from the field. Most points came off fast breaks for both the sides and it turned into a sloppy matchup. Melo was hot for the Lakers scoring 23 and guiding them to the win. However, tonight is a completely different story as both teams are on point on the offensive end.

However, the Rockets struggled from the free throw line. While the Lakers have been good, the referees had to take away a few as they gave the free throws despite them not being in bonus. Likewise, fans were enraged over the bad officiating.
