LeBron James went off on the NBA’s officials following last night’s close game between the Celtics and Pacers.
As Boston’s Jaylen Brown went up for a shot in the final seconds of a tie game, he appeared to get hit in the back of the head by Pacers guard Buddy Hield. However, after the foul was called it was reviewed and reversed by the refs and the C’s ended up losing on the next possession.
Taking to Twitter this morning, LeBron was irate: “See what I’m saying!” the Lakers star said. “JB clearly got hit in the back of the head. They reviewed the play, just to reverse it and say he didn’t. MAN WHAT!! Good ass game to have an ending like that. And yall see why I be going [ape s–t] out there when it happens.”

Would you have upheld the foul?
