Patrick Beverley catches ref off-guard with a pro camera for not calling game-winning foul on LeBron

May 2024 · 4 minute read

Amidst the trade rumors, the Los Angeles Lakers perhaps saw the best version of Patrick Beverley on the basketball court. However, the fans in TD Garden finally witnessed a historic moment from Pat Bev after the end of regulation when LeBron James was fouled by Jayson Tatum on a game-winning layup. While James kept jumping and ultimately went to his knees in frustration, Beverley did something unusual. He brought the camera to the referee and tried to show him the replay. It is not unusual or unexpected for Pat to have such hero moments. But bringing a pro camera was just unexpected 

With 4 seconds remaining on the shot clock, the Celtics and the Lakers were tied at 105-105. After the timeout, Dennis Schroder made an inbound pass to James, who came off of the screen. He made a drive to the basket, where he was apparently fouled by Jayson Tatum. The replay showed that he was hit on his hand while he made the layup shot, which hit the backboard. Frustration was evident in James and on the entire Lakers roster. As they were watching the refs rob them of getting a very important W.

As the regulation ended, Beverley went to the sideline, took the camera of a cameraman, and walked up to the referee. As he was trying to show the replay to the referee, he was slapped with a technical foul. Jeff Van Gundy, who was covering the game, said that the Lakers player should have been ejected from the game. This is the third time in the season that the Lakers have fallen victim to a bad call from the officials.
