This foul call in the Lakers-Nuggets game was challenged and ruled not a foul. #lakers #nba
Game Context: The video features a scene where Russell Westbrook of the Los Angeles Lakers made seven three-point shots.
Foul Call: There's a moment where a foul is initially called during a drive inside by Westbrook.
Review Outcome: The key point of contention is whether the ball had left Westbrook's hands before contact was made. Upon reviewing the play, it was determined that the ball was indeed out of his hands at the time of the contact, leading to the foul call being overturned.
In a critical moment of Game 4 between the Lakers and Nuggets, LeBron James made a running shot attempt that missed the rim, and Michael Porter Jr. grabbed the ball. Normally, this should have triggered a 24-second shot clock violation, but the officials didn't stop the game. This oversight allowed the game to continue without interruption, leading to the Nuggets advancing and the Lakers missing a crucial opportunity to extend the series.
