On March 28, Beijing time, the NBA officially released the referee report for the last two minutes of the Lakers vs Bucks. The report showed that there were two missed judgments in the last two minutes of the fourth quarter and the last two minutes of the two overtimes, with the Lakers and Bucks each losing once. Among them, Lillard's key three points in the fourth quarter were missed by fouls, and Hachimura was leaked 2+1 in the first overtime. If Lillard's three-point foul had been properly whistled, the Lakers might not have been able to make overtime.
The first missed call came with 57.3 seconds left in the fourth quarter. At that time, the Bucks led the Lakers 101-99, Lillard made a shot outside the three-point line, and Reaves, who was trying to block behind him, hit Lillard's head, which was a leaky three-point foul, the Lakers profited, and the Bucks suffered. Lillard also touched his head at the time and looked at the referee, obviously dissatisfied with the foul leak. The Lakers later dragged the game into overtime with Prince's two free throws, and if Lillard had three free throws at that time, with his 92.6% (league-first) free throw shooting rate, he would probably have made all three free throws, and the Lakers were afraid that they would not be able to enter overtime.
The second missed call came with 1:2 left before the end of the first overtime, when Hachimura broke through along the baseline and scored on a layup. The referee's report showed that Beasley hit Hachimura in the face, which was supposed to be a 2+1, and the referee missed it. It was the Lakers who suffered and the Bucks who profited.
Judging from these two missed judgments, although both sides suffered a loss once, in fact, the Bucks suffered more than the Lakers. First, the Bucks' loss occurred in the fourth quarter, and if Lillard's three-point foul was whistled, the Lakers' probability of scoring overtime would be greatly reduced. Second, the Bucks are potentially losing three points, while the Lakers are losing one. In the end, the Lakers defeated the Bucks 128-124 in double overtime, completing a 19-point comeback and winning four in a row.
In this double-overtime battle, James was suspended, and thick eyebrows played 52 minutes to set a career high, scoring 34 points and 23 rebounds, shooting 12-of-31, 3-of-8 three-pointers, and 7-of-7 free throws. The Bucks led by as many as 19 points in the fourth quarter, and the Lakers magically tied the score and dragged the game into overtime. After two overtime battles, the Lakers finally won the game.
Reaves had 29 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists, his second career triple-double, and Russell had 29 points and 12 assists. He scored 29 points, 21 rebounds, 11 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks to get his fourth triple-double this season, but only 1-of-6 from the free-throw line, especially the key two misses.
