The National Basketball Referees Association said Sunday that LeBron James was fouled on the last play of regulation in the Los Angeles Lakers’ game against the Boston Celtics. The NBA office also confirmed for the second time that a foul should have been called. James was clearly fouled by Boston’s Jayson Tatum with about 1 second left in regulation of a tied game. No foul was called and the Celtics won in overtime.
