“He just smacks him on the top of the head,” was the line from the commentary booth as they showed replays.
The foul on LeBron was called, but Lakers head coach Darvin Ham believes it should have been a flagrant foul.

The Lakers picked up an important 116-104 victory in Monday’s game.

The Lakers are aiming for a top six place and Ham said, “We understand time is of the essence.
“And we’ve got to get busy in order to do what we’re trying to do.”
James scored just 19 points in the game, but also had 11 rebounds and eight assists.
The Lakers next play the Sacramento Kings, who are currently seventh in the Western Conference, on Wednesday.
“That’s a very important game,” Lakers star Anthony Davis said.
“We play them twice within the next week or so. This is gonna be a big game and then the one next week is gonna be a big game.
“We gotta come in and take care of business.”
