But after the game, LeBron seemed upset about some referee decisions. He thought there were unfair calls, especially one against him. LeBron said, “This kind of weak foul happens when someone’s betting on the game… I got hit on the next play, and they didn’t do anything about it.“
LeBron also talked about another game, saying, “I just watched the Sixers Knicks game… What’s going on?“
