What is going on with the basketball officials? It’s a question that has been haunting the minds of the NBA world lately. Due to a series of shocking calls made by the refs, NBA fans have been speculating about their ability to make the right decision during the games. After Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James had a major breakdown in front of the entire world, the refs have yet again become the cause of fans’ frustration following the recent game between the Los Angeles Clippers and the Oklahoma City Thunder.

NBA refs were harshly criticized for missing a foul call during the LA Lakers vs Boston Celtics game. King James went down on his knees when Jayson Tatum fouled him in the last few seconds of the fourth quarter, thus, sending the game to overtime. What seemed like a winning game for the Lakers ended with their doom when the foul was ‘overlooked’ by the officials.

Ref call saga strikes again after ‘LeBron James’ foul decision

On Tuesday night, the LA Clippers went up against the OKC Thunder only to end up losing the game after having dealt with some on-court shocks. The game had progressed into the second quarter when Kawhi Leonard went for a layup shot. While making the shot, Leonard got fouled by Thunder’s Aaron Wiggins, a move for which no call was made. The ref hit frustrated Leonard with tech when he expressed his displeasure.

To make matters worse, Terance Mann got hit with a back-to-back tech resulting in his ejection for arguing with the same ref. In a rare occurrence, all three techs were called in just a span of four seconds.
