Anthony Davis said the Lakers "got cheated" when referees did not whistle a shooting foul on LeBron James on the final Los Angeles possession vs. Boston Celtics.
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.
