The Lakers are going to Las Vegas for the NBA in-season tournament semifinals after defeating the Suns, 106–103, in Los Angeles on Tuesday night.
However, a controversial call in the final seconds left NBA fans asking if Phoenix was robbed of a chance to tie or win the game.
The Lakers were given a timeout with 7.4 seconds remaining, though it appeared that Austin Reaves had lost possession of the ball near their basket. As Reaves was trapped by Devin Booker and Kevin Durant, LeBron James called timeout and the referees allowed it despite Reaves’s apparent turnover.
