Luka Doncic was fouled late in Lakers' Game 4 loss, says NBA

play

The striker of Minnesota Timberwolves, Jaden McDaniels, would have a foul against Los Angeles Lakers Guard, Luka Doncic, are to be called.

Minnesota had just taken over a head start of 114-113 and Doncic dribbled to half a court when McDaniel's right leg Doncic stumbled, who fell to the Court. No foul was called and Doncic called Timeout. In the next possession of the ball of the Lakers, LeBron James committed sales, which led to two, which led Anthony Edwards to free throws.

The coach of Doncic and Lakers, JJ Redick, were annoyed by the no-call, which the NBA described in its last two-minute report as wrong. Doncic should have received two free throws, which gives the Lakers the opportunity to tie or take the lead.

“I was certainly stumbled,” said Doncic to reporters.

The last two-minute report by the league also confirmed that referees could rightly call up a foul against James at a Minnesota challenge. Instead of the lakers that were taken into possession, Edwards made two free throws with 10.7 seconds.

The Timberwolves took the lead 3-1 and can win the series in game 5 on Wednesday in Los Angeles (10 p.m. et, TNT).
