It all started when both teams were level in the match. Lakers star LeBron James went for a layup that could have possibly sealed the victory, but an obvious foul by Celtic’s Jayson Tatum stopped him. The referee surprisingly didn’t give the foul, and the match went into overtime, and the Lakers ended up losing the match.
