OAKLAND — Amid all the frustrations he has felt over the losses, the game’s evolution and the current players’ mindset, Lakers coach Byron Scott often repeats a phrase nearly every day.

“Different day,” Scott said. “Different age.”

Scott might be saying that again. He sounded incredulous over the Lakers’ 108-105 loss to the Golden State Warriors on Monday at Oracle Arena for reasons beyond their 18 turnovers. He also questioned the officials rewarding Golden State guard Stephen Curry two free throws to open the fourth quarter over a foul Lakers guard Jeremy Lin committed with 30.4 seconds let in the third quarter.

“They said the scorekeeper didn’t put it up on the board. So they just went back and reviewed it and now they get two free throws,” Scott said. “It boggles my mind. I guess they can review the things the want to review.”

Lakers forward Wesley Johnson had fouled Curry after he canned a 27-foot three-pointer that extended the Warriors’ lead to 81-74 with 1:31 left. Because Lin foul on Curry on a non-shooting play represented the Lakers’ second foul within the last two minutes, Curry immediately should have been awarded two foul shots. Instead, Curry eventually lost the ball on a turnover. Curry was then granted two foul shots to open the fourth quarter and sank both of them for an 84-78 lead.

“I never saw a call being made and you shoot free throws and it’s over,” Scott said. “I’ve seen a whole lot in my 30-something years in the NBA.”
