James and Curry shot clock error that ruined a great match
A game between the Lakers and the Warriors at the Crypto Arena on the 17th. James is expressing regret over a series of shot clock errors.
National Basketball Association (NBA) superstars LeBron James and Stephen Curry made fans' eyes happy with their famous showdowns. However, due to a shot clock error at the end of the game, the game was delayed significantly, and the intense game ended somewhat sluggishly.
The Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors faced off in the 2023-24 NBA regular league at Crypto Dotcom Arena in LA, California on the 17th.
It was a showdown between No. 9 and No. 10 in the Western Conference, but James and Curry, representing the NBA, always caught the attention of fans. It was also the 22nd time James and Curry met each other in their careers.
The two teams had a neck-and-neck race through the first half. Curry scored 13 points including four three-point shots, and James countered with 18 points and eight assists. Clay Tamson (21 points) and DeAngelo Russell (14 points) who supported them also displayed outstanding performance. The only regrettable result was that Anthony Davis, a big man of the Lakers, left the court after being hit in the eye by Tritt Jackson-Davis' arm during the attack.
The Warriors continued their flying shots and scored 35 points in the third quarter alone, seemingly seizing a chance to win. Right? James scored six consecutive points from 7:31 left in the fourth quarter, narrowing the gap to a single digit. He hit the Warriors' net with a dunk and hook shot past the halfway mark, and he hit a corner 3-pointer in front of Curry to chase down the score to 3 points with 2:07 left. However, James' foot was ruled to have stepped on the line in the scene, and the score was cancelled.
A game between the Lakers and the Warriors was held at the Crypto Dotcom Arena on Thursday last week. The final shot clock of the fourth quarter has stopped at 24 seconds and has not decreased. Eventually, an announcer in the stadium gave an indication of the remaining attack time.
That's when the fierce battle started to get distorted. The shot clock didn't work properly, and the judges grabbed the whistle one after another. As time didn't run out, the Lakers' offense began to shrink. James, who tried to attack again, eventually threw the ball onto the court and laughed mockingly, saying, "I'm too old to keep doing this."
Despite successive interventions by referees, the shot clock remained in place. Eventually, in the last two minutes, there was a skit, with the announcer telling them the remaining time. The game was delayed for more than 20 minutes from the time the shot clock was broken. Fans who watched the game pointed out on social media that it was a show of obviously stupid referees.
Curry said, "I've never experienced anything like this in a career. This is one of the worst things you can experience at this age. When the engine goes out, it's hard to restart."

As a result, the Warriors kept the gap between points, defeating the Lakers 128-121. The gap between the two teams was eliminated, and the Warriors moved up to ninth place.
Curry displayed stellar performance with 31 points, five assists and two steals, while Tamson provided 26 points. Major players including Jonathan Kuminga (23 points) and Draymond Green (12 points, 12 rebounds, and 13 assists) also displayed stellar performance.
In the Lakers, James fought hard with 40 points, eight rebounds, and nine assists, but he couldn't turn the game around in the end.
