Jason Kidd used both of his coach’s challenges before the fourth quarter in the Mavericks’ win over the Timberwolves in Game 1 of the Western Conference finals. Both of those challenges were successful, but, because of NBA rules, the Mavs were still without a challenge in crunch time of a playoff game.
LeBron James took the opportunity to speak out against the NBA’s challenge rule itself.
“Have to change that challenge rule!” the Los Angeles Lakers star said on social media. “No way you have 2 successful challenges and can’t anymore for the rest of the game! Makes ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE.”
