LeBron James\u2019 \u2018that ain\u2019t our ball\u2019 moment vs Trail Blazers explained<\/p>\n
LeBron James\u2019 \u201cthat ain\u2019t our ball?\u201d moment came during Game 2 of the Lakers\u2019 2020 playoff series against the Portland Trail Blazers, when confusion over possession led to a visible reaction from the bench.<\/p>\n
After officials initially awarded the ball to Portland, LeBron stood up and repeatedly questioned the call, shouting toward the referee during the stoppage.<\/p>\n
