NBA has already determined that LeBron James should have been awarded two potential game-winning free throws at the end of the regulation in the Lakers-Celtics game.

The referees made a mistake as they did not call a foul by Jayson Tatum on the last play of the fourth quarter.

The uncalled foul cost Los Angeles a win on the road, as the Lakers stumbled in overtime 125-121.

Anthony Davis said the Lakers felt "cheated" by the officials and suggested the league should fine refs for missed calls to improve accountability.

"It's bullshit. It's unacceptable. I guarantee you nothing's gonna happen to the ref. We got cheated tonight. It's a blatant foul... Refs were bad tonight," Davis commented post-game.
