The Boston Celtics had the last laugh against the Los Angeles Lakers after a 125-121 overtime win in the NBA’s rival week.
Jaylen Brown went take over mode in the extra period before finishing with 37 points, nine rebounds and three assists.
Jayson Tatum supported with a double-double of 30-piece, 11 boards along with four assists plus the no-call on his foul on LeBron James potential game-winning layup at the end of regulation.
With four seconds left, game tied at 105, James got the inbound pass and went straight to the basket where he was challenged by Boston’s defense and Tatum clearly hit him in the forearm.
James was furious with the no-call and was on his knees full of frustrations.
Patrick Beverly, who made an insane putback slam in the clutch, brought out a DSLR camera to show the referee the obvious foul and got T’d up for it.
With the emotions running high, Boston took advantage and sealed the win.
James delivered another 41-point performance but it was not enough to carry the Lakers to a win.
