With just over 30 seconds remaining in the game, Luka Doncic stumbled on the court, and the Los Angeles Lakers had to call a timeout. However, according to coach JJ Redick and Doncic himself, the play should have been a foul by Jaden McDaniels. This would have given the Lakers a free throw and a chance to tie the game and even turn the game around.<\/p>
According to Redick, “He (Doncic) didn’t just go down on his own… He got fouled. So we should have gone to the free throw line.” However, the Lakers coach also said that “it’s not an excuse,” but that the team could have opened up a lead. Ultimately, the visitors came out of the timeout and committed a turnover.<\/p>
