Players reacted too. Anthony Davis slammed the officials, LeBron could not get the decision, while Lakers head coach Darvin Ham said that it's becoming increasingly difficult to win games and fight not only with opponents but with unfavorable calls from NBA refs.

Lakers point guard Dennis Schroder also voiced his frustration, posting an Instagram story, where he included a photo of Jayson Tatum's foul.

"The refs gotta start getting fined for their mistakes! They also giving technical fouls to people who are reacting to their mistakes. The replay center should also use replay to get these calls right, especially on an important play like the OBVIOUS foul on LeBron at the end of the game," the German player wrote.

"This needs to stop. We need every win we can get in this league to reach our goals! To lose 3-5 games this season off of referees' mistakes is really hard," Schroder added.

With a 125-121 overtime loss vs. Celtics, Los Angeles dropped to a 23-27 record and now ranks 13th in the Western Conference. The Lakers are three wins away from Play-In Tournament.
