LeBron James explodes at Lakers bench after Darvin Ham doesn’t challenge call
NY Post
LeBron James knew as soon as he poked the ball away from Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, watched the ball sail out of bounds and saw the referee signal that the Nuggets would keep possession.
The Lakers star wanted head coach Darvin Ham to challenge the call with just over nine minutes remaining in the fourth quarter Saturday, with Los Angeles leading by 15 and needing a Game 4 win to stay alive in their first-round NBA playoff series.
But when Ham opted not to challenge, James kept pointing, yelling and pleading — a little bit of everything to try and convince his coach to force a review — for nearly 15 seconds.
Play had resumed by that point, with Jamal Murray finishing a layup while James still yelled at and stared toward his bench.
“He compounded the problem by not paying attention, and then Denver got the easy basket,” ESPN play-by-play broadcaster Dave Pasch said.
The Lakers still survived with a 119-108 win to secure their first victory of the series and send it back to Denver, and Ham ended up using — and winning — a coach’s challenge with 42 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter.
