Lakers superstar Luka Doncic was left confused on a Timberwolves transition opportunity after hearing whistle noises, assuming it came from the officials. Doncic stopped midway from contesting the layup, and the Timberwolves scored two easy points.
However, the perplexing fourth-quarter play was caused by a fan who had a whistle in the stands. Even Lakers coach JJ Redick complained to the officials about the issue. The play announcer made an announcement, requesting the fan to stop whistling.
That possession was costly for LA, especially with the game being closely contested throughout the fourth quarter.
