“Why didn’t you call that sh**?” Referee completely GHOSTS ‘fired up’ LeBron James after Nuggets beat Lakers in Game 2

The Los Angeles Lakers surrendered a 20-point lead to the Denver Nuggets in their game two loss, and despite a whole lot of reasons to think about, LeBron James blamed the referee for a missed call as one of the reasons his team lost. Details of what he said to the referee after the game have surfaced online and have quickly gone viral.

LeBron James had insisted that a specific non-call by the referee played a significant role in the loss. Furthermore, after the killer Jamal Murray’s clutch shot had sealed their defeat, James approached the referee who missed the call and told him a piece of his mind.

Why didn't you call the and-one? Why didn't you call that s**t? Why didn't you call it? It was right in front of you. I'm asking you a question.
LeBron James said

James has squared off with game officials in the past, but this particular one has to be the most talked about, as the nature of the loss was extremely painful, considering how the team squandered a place of strength to lose the game. The referees in game two have received complaints, and it was reported that the Philadelphia 76ers would lay a formal complaint to the league following their loss at the hands of the New York Knicks. Regardless, the Lakers have themselves to blame for the loss despite James’ effort of 26 points, eight rebounds, and 12 assists.

Robert Horry calls out LeBron James and the Lakers for blowing a 20-point lead against the Denver Nuggets

Former LA Lakers player Robert Horry ripped the Lakers for their performance against the Nuggets last night. He expressed his disappointment as the Purple and Gold failed to build on their successes early in the game. 

LeBron is 39. Yes, he is one of the best players ever to play this game. He had no advantage tonight. That ISO at the top got them in trouble. You know why Denver was able to rest on the defensive end? They sat there, and they waited on LeBron to make his move, and then they went in.
Robert Horry said

Anthony Davis and D’Angelo Russell were important offensive threats for the Lakers, but just like in the first game, their momentum dropped. Despite James’ best efforts in the final quarter, the Lakers eventually lost out and he wishes the referee had called those fouls he said they had missed.
