With 12.1 seconds left and the Lakers holding a narrow 101-99 lead, Davis missed two crucial free throws late in the game.

Fans and analysts were quick to comment on Davis' missed opportunity, but the sharpest criticism came from his wife, Maren.
Speaking after the game, Davis revealed, “My wife called me too and said, “Louis saved you.'' That made me feel sick. ”
Davis later added, “I definitely appreciate Louis' tip-out.”
That's not ideal, considering Davis has shot 6-of-16 on clutch free throws this season.

Davis and Maren married in 2021 and have been dating since 2017.
