After the Lakers’ 125-107 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, coach JJ Redick and guard Austin Reaves expressed frustration over officiating, particularly concerning LeBron James’ treatment. Reaves confronted crew chief John Goble about feeling disrespected during a jump ball, highlighting the disparity in fouls and free throw attempts. Redick criticized the officiating for not being fair to larger players like James, who has only attempted five free throws in the series. The Lakers face a 2-0 deficit heading into Game 3 on Saturday.
