‘What are we doing?’ LeBron James unloads on replay system after playoff defeat

• Lakers lost Game 2 to the Nuggets 101-99 on Monday night
• Replay officials overturned a foul call on Michael Porter Jr

LeBron James was seething after the Los Angeles Lakers watched a golden opportunity slip away.

His frustration wasn't so much centered on blowing a 20-point lead. Or his late missed three-pointer that rimmed out with the game tied. Or Jamal Murray's fadeaway buzzer-beater that gave the Denver Nuggets a 101-99 win over the Lakers in Game 2 of their first-round series on Monday night.

James instead took aim at the NBA's replay center in Secaucus, New Jersey, after a second-half foul on Michael Porter Jr was overturned. A foul was initially called after Porter struck D'Angelo Russell in the face, but the call was reversed with the league saying Porter made only marginal contact on Russell.

I don't understand what's going on in the replay center, to be honest," said James, whose team heads back to Los Angeles for Game 3 on Thursday facing a 2-0 deficit. D-Lo clearly gets hit in the face on the drive. What the fuck do we have a replay center for ... It doesn't make sense. It makes no sense. It bothers me."
