After the game, Lakers head coach JJ Redick openly criticized the officiating and defended LeBron James, claiming that the veteran superstar receives the “worst whistle” of any star player he has ever seen.
Despite the controversy surrounding the referees, LeBron chose not to engage in the discussion during his postgame media interaction. The Lakers star, who finished Game 2 with 23 points and six assists, kept his response brief while addressing the defeat.
“We’re down 2-0,” LeBron said while speaking to reporters after the game, according to Dave McMenamin.
LeBron was also questioned about Redick’s viral remarks regarding officiating. However, the four-time NBA champion again avoided extending the discussion and delivered another short response.
“I don’t know,” he stated.
The loss leaves the Lakers facing mounting pressure as the series deficit grows, while debates over officiating continue to dominate conversations surrounding the team’s disappointing Game 2 performance.
