LeBron James' game-saving block may have actually been a violation that the refs missed

Gregory Shamus/Getty LeBron James made a game-saving block on Victor Oladipo on Wednesday before hitting the game-winning three-pointer. Replays showed that James might have touched the ball after it had already hit the backboard, making it goaltending, though it was a close call. Referees could not review the play because they had not called it goaltending when the play occurred. LeBron James played hero for the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday, coming up with a block on Victor Oladipo's go-ahead layup attempt with three second left, then burying a game-winning three-pointer as time expired. The sequence will make James' greatest hits playlist when his career is done, but upon further inspection, his block on Oladipo might have been a missed call by the refs.See the rest of the story at Business InsiderNOW WATCH: What it takes to be an NBA refereeSee Also:LeBron James saves the Cavs from utter meltdown with game-winning block and 3-pointer back-to-backHow LeBron James and Lance Stephenson formed one of the oddest and most entertaining rivalries in the NBAPhotos of what the stars of the NBA playoffs looked like when their careers started
