The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Dallas Mavericks in overtime on Friday, a game Mavs fans believe the referees messed up.

The NBA's last two minute report states there were two missed calls during the Lakers-Mavs game. Lakers star Anthony Davis fouled Mavs guard Luka Doncic after Avery Bradley's missed jumper with 14 seconds left.

That's not the call, though, that had Dallas fans angry.

Lakers center Dwight Howard fouled Mavs guard Seth Curry late, preventing Curry from getting to Danny Green, who hit the game-tying 3-pointer right in front of Dallas' bench:

Led by LeBron James, the Lakers improved to 4-1 on the season by defeating the Mavs, who fell to 3-2 with the loss. Dallas could be 4-1 right now if the refs called that holding foul on Howard.

James and Doncic had a great duel on Friday. LeBron finished with 39 points, 12 rebounds and 16 assists, while Doncic put up 31 points, 13 rebounds and 15 assists.

The Mavs will look to get back in the win column on Sunday when they take on the Cleveland Cavaliers on the road. Dallas will be motivated to win after feeling cheated against the Lakers with the two missed calls.

The Lakers, meanwhile, face the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday.
