LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers continued their winning streak making it five in a row after their win against the Sacramento Kings. However, it was not an easy game away from home. The game was very closely contested and high octane right from the tip-off until the final buzzer. With James’ game-high 37 points, the Lakers came away with a 136-134 win. Understandably, the Kings were not happy, especially their superstar De’Aaron Fox.

De’Aaron Fox led the Kings with 34 points and made some important plays throughout the game to keep his team in striking distance. With one minute left on the clock, Fox gave the Kings a two-point lead. However, LeBron James and the Lakers could not be stopped. But Fox was not impressed with the officials.

De’Aaron Fox was not happy with the officials 

De’Aaron Fox took to Twitter to vent his frustration about the officials. As per reports from Lakers Daily, Fox wrote, “Thought we were suppose to let the players decide the game…” However, the point guard then deleted the tweet. Apparently, Fox was not happy with the foul call against him that came late in the game with 3.1 seconds left on the clock.

After he gave a two-point lead with one minute left on the clock, LeBron James came right back. As James drove to the basket and finished the shot, he was fouled. The and-one opportunity to James gave the Lakers a one-point lead with 48 seconds left on the clock.
