While at the free-throw line during the fourth quarter, James overhead Şengün saying that the refs made a "soft [expletive] call" on the foul. With less than six minutes remaining in the contest, James chirped back at Şengün to confirm he heard him correctly.
He was visibly upset by the comment from Şengün and began responding, elevating the interaction. Here is what he said: "Nah, not you. Anybody else on ya'll roster, but not you.
You don't say that. " He then repeated "you don't say that" a few times to further emphasize his point. After the match, the big man predicted the Rockets would defeat the Lakers during Game 6 in Houston.
