The Los Angeles Lakers suffered yet another defeat and one of the biggest LeBron James fans, NFL legend Shannon Sharpe, is not happy about it. The Lakers were just a few seconds away from winning the game after the Boston Celtics tied the score to 105-all with less than five seconds remaining on the clock. However, a missed call and a technical foul were enough to throw the Lakers off guard and give the Celtics leeway to secure a win during the overtime. Consequently, Lakers fans including Sharpe took to Twitter to express their frustration over the outcome of the game.

The recent game between the Los Angeles Lakers and their Eastern Conference rivals Boston Celtics took a controversial turn in the last quarter. Despite a stellar performance put up by the Lakers, the game became a lost cause when it entered overtime.

Shannon Sharpe reacts to the Lakers game in disbelief

The Los Angeles Lakers vs Boston Celtics game turned controversial when the refs failed to call out a foul committed by Tatum in the fourth quarter. After the Celtics tied the score, James went for a lay-up that could have secured the Lakers’ victory had it not been for Tatum who hit LeBron’s arm resulting in a missed shot. The foul was never called by the refs and a frustrated Patrick Beverley decided to take matters into his own hands. The Lakers point guard grabbed a camera from someone on the baseline and went to the ref to show him the proof of Tatum’s foul.

However, all it did was earn Pat Bev a technical foul and the game continued into overtime with the Celtics in a one-point lead. Despite receiving a tech and suffering a loss, Beverley put up a splendid performance helping the Lakers take the lead twice in the fourth quarter of the game. He also made a putback dunk that left not just fans but King James himself stunned.
