Twitter Crushes Refs for Missing Jayson Tatum's Foul on LeBron James in Lakers' Loss

It's a rare sight when fans of both the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers agree on something, yet, here we are.

The Lakers fell to the Celtics 125-121 in overtime on Saturday night at TD Garden to kick off a five-game Eastern Conference road trip. However, the game probably should have never gone to the extra period.

In a game the Purple and Gold could have won in regulation, the referees missed a blatant foul by Jayson Tatum on LeBron James with time winding down in the fourth quarter.

With mere seconds on the clock and a chance to win the game, James drove to the basket and was swarmed by Tatum, Grant Williams, Malcolm Brogdon and Al Horford. As the 38-year-old went in for the layup, Tatum got a piece of James' arm as he attempted to swat the ball away.

There was no foul called on Tatum, which sent the game to overtime. Had a foul been called, James would have likely won the game for L.A. from the stripe.

Following the non-call, Green Teamers and fans of the Purple and Gold put their differences aside and collectively agreed that a foul should have been called:

With the Lakers trying to crawl back into the Western Conference playoff race, Saturday's loss couldn't be any more frustrating for Darvin Ham's squad, which dropped to 23-27 and sits 13th in the West.

The Celtics, meanwhile, snapped a three-game losing streak and improved to 36-15 with the win.

The Lakers will move on to face the Nets at Barclays Center in Brooklyn on Monday. The Celtics aren't back in action until Wednesday when they host the Nets at TD Garden.
