NBA – The Lakers come out of a victory against the Knicks at Madison Square Garden after overtime. In a post-match press conference, LeBron James took the opportunity to congratulate his partners and give a layer to the referees of the controversial match against Boston.
After their 129-123 win over the Knicks outside, the Lakers have finally won a tight basketball match, in money time and moreover in overtime. Asked about this dynamic in a post-match press conference, LeBron James praised the efforts of his teammates and recalled that the game lost in Boston was because of the referees unlike that night. Words with a slightly bitter taste where we still feel the King disgusted for the clash between the two most successful franchises in the league.
“Tonight’s game was won thanks to the players. In Boston, the match was won by the referees. It happened what happened in Boston, but tonight we as a team won the game. »

And it’s true that the game against the Knicks required a lot of resources from the players. LeBron James finished in triple-doubles, Anthony Davis and Rui Hachimura almost in double-doubles, but contributed strongly and Russell Westbrook put the right shots at the right time off the bench. That was enough to counter a burning Jalen Brunson, but alone. All with refereeing decisions not as harsh and bad as against the Celtics.
LeBron James still has a bit of the seum of defeat in his mouth when you hear him on the microphone. And that’s normal. In this tight Western Conference, a win can change everything. Despite everything, what is done and done and nothing can change the result of this meeting against Boston. The Lakers won against the Knicks on the other hand and that, they owe it only to themselves.
