Crew Chief responds to the contact made on LeBron James, accepts foul
Adam Himmelsbach asked the Crew Chief on his thoughts on the contact after the game. “It looked like there was contact on LeBron’s drive at the end of regulation. Why was there no foul call there and what did you see there?” Adam asked.
Eric Lewis replied, “There was contact. At the time, during the game, we did not see a foul. The crew missed the play.” The team sitting on the 13th position in the Western Conference table would understand the value of a missed foul. It resulted in overtime, where Celtics got the better off Lakers.
The game was tied at 105-105 and LeBron had already bagged 41 points under his name. He drove the ball into the paint and Jayson Tatum was clearly seen hitting the left arm of LeBron James.
