Lakers News: Steve Kerr Criticizes Ruling on LeBron James’ Three-Pointer Despite Warriors Benefit

The three-pointer by LeBron James, initially counted but later ruled out, proved to be a pivotal moment in the game, impacting both the score and game dynamics.

After narrowing the lead to 124-120, James’ three-pointer not only reduced the deficit but also consumed 45 seconds of game time, affecting the team’s aggression and overall gameplay.

In response to this ruling, Warriors coach Steve Kerr expressed his dissatisfaction, questioning the validity of reviewing such calls and its impact on the game’s flow.

Kerr stated, “I also don’t like the rule that you can go back and look at an out of bounds, or LeBron’s 3. That seems to happen once or twice a year. I’d love to see that rule go away.”

Acknowledging the Warriors’ benefit from the ruling, Kerr emphasized the rarity of such occurrences and questioned the necessity of disrupting the game for minor infractions.

Despite the Warriors’ advantage, Kerr’s candid remarks shed light on the potential negative impact of excessive rule enforcement on the fluidity of the game.

The unprecedented nature of the ruling during a crucial game raises concerns about the officiating and its impact on the overall viewing experience of NBA basketball.
