The LeBron-less Los Angeles Lakers shocked the OKC Thunder with their overtime win on Thursday night. Despite not being on the floor, however, LeBron was much engaged with the contest. During the waning seconds of regulation, Lonzo Ball was called for a shooting foul on Russell Westbrook. But it appeared to LeBron that Lonzo wrapped up Russ prior to his shooting motion, prompting LeBron to tweet at the NBA officials' Twitter page and ask: "So what really is “in the shooting motion” rule?!?!? Asking for a friend @OfficialNBARefs"
It appears that LeBron's skepticism on the correctness of that call was confirmed when referee Tom Washington spoke to reporters stating that the call was incorrect. If the call was a foul on the floor, Russ wouldn't have gotten the three free-throw attempts that pushed the game into overtime. In the end, though, the Lakers prevailed on the backs of Kyle Kuzma's and Lonzo Ball's stellar play down the stretch.
