LeBron James called for a foul after getting hit on the face
While playing in the second quarter, Westbrook drove to the rim. LeBron tried to set a screen for Brodie as Turner tried to get to him. During this, Turner got James with an elbow while going down himself. Hearing the whistle, everyone expected it going in favor of the Lakers. However, an offensive foul was called on LeBron James as he was left in surprise.
While Turner did go down, it was clear that he landed the elbow first. LeBron took the hit on the face while he had his hands on Turner. It should have gone in the favor of the Lakers, but the referees felt otherwise. James was livid on the bench after the call remained, despite a review by the Lakers.
For James, he has come out looking like himself on his return to the court. The absence of Anthony Davis has sure hit the Lakers, but they have kept the game close. After trailing by 12 points at one point, the purple and gold have come back and trail by just two points entering the fourth.
LeBron James is leading the forces with 22 points, 3 rebound sand 3 assists to his name. Westbrook is unable tp replicate his performance from last game putting up 14 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists so far. The bench has been doing well led by Carmelo Anthony and Malik Monk. Do you think the Lakers can make a comeback? Let us know in the comments below.
