Error in marking the time of ball possession irritated the athletes.
An unusual scene concluded the end of the match between the Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors on Sunday (18th), during the NBA regular season: the ball possession clock stopped and the teams had to play with the help of a manual stopwatch. .
First, the device that monitors the remaining shot time reset during a Warriors possession: the clock had reached 9 seconds and automatically returned to 24, but the game continued normally until the score.
Having noticed the bug, the referee stopped the match and tried to fix the problem, but to no avail because the clock was still stopped. The game resumed with manual marking.

The situation ended up helping Golden State, who was winning the game, to stop a possible reaction from the Lakers, who were playing at home. LeBron James, star of the Los Angeles team, made fun of the fact by using a classic phrase from the character Roger Murtaugh, a police officer from the Lethal Weapon saga: “I’m too old for this bullshit…”
The game
The game between Lakers and Warriors was marked by another long-awaited duel between LeBron James and Stephen Curry.
LeBron, who recently surpassed the 40,000 point mark in the NBA regular season, managed a “four-point game”: first he hit a triple and, on the shot, was fouled by Jackson-Davis. Subsequently, he converted the bonus free throw.
The cameras caught Curry upset over the foul committed by his teammate.
The last one to smile was the Warriors point guard. The San Francisco team beat the home team 128 to 121 and finished in 6th place, overtaking the Los Angeles Lakers in the standings.
