The Los Angeles Lakers confronted officials following their Game 2 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Players and coach JJ Redick highlighted concerns about physical play and free-throw calls during the contest.
After Thursday night's matchup, Austin Reaves engaged in a heated exchange with referee John Goble. Reaves later described the interaction as disrespectful, noting that Goble had yelled in his face during a jump ball situation with about six minutes left in the fourth quarter. The Lakers as a group approached the officials at midcourt once the game concluded.
