Golden State Warriors secured a 128-121 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers in a game that was marked by unusual delays in the final minutes. The last 2 minutes and 7 seconds of the game turned into a 22-minute ordeal due to extended replay reviews and a malfunctioning shot clock.
The chaos ensued when a 3-pointer by LeBron James was initially counted, pulling the Lakers within 124-120. However, a challenge revealed that James had stepped out of bounds before taking the shot, nullifying the basket. Despite scoring 40 points, James expressed disbelief at the call, stating that he was certain he had not stepped out of bounds.
