The ball went off Andrew Wiggins and Jaxson Hayes as it went out of bounds, but it was called Warriors ball instead of Lakers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"image-ct inline\">\n<div class=\"m\"><picture><source media=\"(max-width: 767px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/343\/192\/Austin-Reaves.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1, https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/686\/384\/Austin-Reaves.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1 2x\" height=\"192\" width=\"343\"><source media=\"(min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 1023px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/672\/378\/Austin-Reaves.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1, https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/1344\/756\/Austin-Reaves.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1 2x\" height=\"378\" width=\"672\"><source media=\"(min-width: 1024px) and (max-width: 1279px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/931\/523\/Austin-Reaves.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1, https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/1862\/1046\/Austin-Reaves.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1 2x\" height=\"523\" width=\"931\"><source media=\"(min-width: 1280px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/720\/405\/Austin-Reaves.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1, https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/1440\/810\/Austin-Reaves.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1 2x\" height=\"405\" width=\"720\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/1200\/675\/Austin-Reaves.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1\" alt=\"Austin Reeves and official\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\"\/><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>\n<div class=\"info\">\n<div class=\"caption\">\n<p><span>Austin Reaves of the Lakers speaks with an official during the Golden State Warriors game at Crypto.com Arena on March 16, 2024, in Los Angeles.<\/span> <span>(Sean M.

They were reviewing LeBron James\u2019 three-pointer that he hit over Curry at the 2:07 mark as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Referees determined James had stepped out of bounds before knocking down the shot that made it a 124-120 game. So, after ending the review, the score was changed back to 124-117.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>SHAQ MAKES MAJOR DISTINCTION IN GOAT DEBATE AMONG LEBRON JAMES, MICHAEL JORDAN AND KOBE BRYANT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When play finally resumed, officials ordered a jump ball as it went off both Wiggins and Hayes. Once again, though, the play led to a coach\u2019s challenge.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Hayes\u2019 tip went to the baseline and Warriors polarizing forward Draymond Green threw it off Austin Reaves to try to regain possession. This one was a bit quicker, as the Lakers got the ball with Green out of bounds.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>However, the stoppages in play continued as the shot clock was malfunctioning. Four attempts were made to resume play, but the clock was not cooperating, which ultimately led to boos from the crowd.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Things got so bad that the Lakers&#8217; public address announcer had to verbalize the 24-second shot clock in five-second intervals, starting at 20.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I haven\u2019t seen that,&#8221; Ham told The Athletic. &#8220;I haven\u2019t seen that before.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"image-ct inline\">\n<div class=\"m\"><picture><source media=\"(max-width: 767px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/343\/192\/Bad-Bunny.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1, https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/686\/384\/Bad-Bunny.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1 2x\" height=\"192\" width=\"343\"><source media=\"(min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 1023px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/672\/378\/Bad-Bunny.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1, https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/1344\/756\/Bad-Bunny.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1 2x\" height=\"378\" width=\"672\"><source media=\"(min-width: 1024px) and (max-width: 1279px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/931\/523\/Bad-Bunny.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1, https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/1862\/1046\/Bad-Bunny.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1 2x\" height=\"523\" width=\"931\"><source media=\"(min-width: 1280px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/720\/405\/Bad-Bunny.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1, https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/1440\/810\/Bad-Bunny.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1 2x\" height=\"405\" width=\"720\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/1200\/675\/Bad-Bunny.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1\" alt=\"Bad Bunny\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\"\/><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>\n<div class=\"info\">\n<div class=\"caption\">\n<p><span>Musician Bad Bunny in the front row for the Lakers and Golden State Warriors game at Crypto.com Arena on March 16, 2024, in Los Angeles.<\/span> <span>(Sean M.

Now you\u2019ve got fans getting a little antsy, thus the boos.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>James also spoke after the eventual Lakers loss, 128-121, where he was clearly displeased with the situation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019ve never seen that be called before like that \u2013 in that particular time,&#8221; he said about his three-pointer not counting. &#8220;That was kind of weird. It\u00a0took some momentum away from us.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Warriors head coach Steve Kerr, despite his team being on the winning end, didn\u2019t like that James\u2019 three-pointer didn\u2019t count either.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don\u2019t like the rule you can go back and look at an out-of-bounds [play]. LeBron\u2019s three \u2013 that seems to happen once or twice a year. Would love to see that rule go away.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kerr also spoke about how the momentum was affected in the building during the break.<\/p>\n<div class=\"image-ct inline\">\n<div class=\"m\"><picture><source media=\"(max-width: 767px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/343\/192\/LeBron-James.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1, https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/686\/384\/LeBron-James.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1 2x\" height=\"192\" width=\"343\"><source media=\"(min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 1023px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/672\/378\/LeBron-James.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1, https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/1344\/756\/LeBron-James.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1 2x\" height=\"378\" width=\"672\"><source media=\"(min-width: 1024px) and (max-width: 1279px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/931\/523\/LeBron-James.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1, https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/1862\/1046\/LeBron-James.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1 2x\" height=\"523\" width=\"931\"><source media=\"(min-width: 1280px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/720\/405\/LeBron-James.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1, https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/1440\/810\/LeBron-James.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1 2x\" height=\"405\" width=\"720\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/1200\/675\/LeBron-James.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1\" alt=\"LeBron James\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\"\/><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>\n<div class=\"info\">\n<div class=\"caption\">\n<p><span>LeBron James of the Lakers during a timeout as officials attempt to fix the shot clock at Crypto.com Arena on March 16, 2024, in Los Angeles.<\/span> <span>(Sean M.
