Drama unfolds in LA, and it’s all happening in Crypto.com Arena. It started off with LeBron James surpassing the 50k mark in the opening quarter against the Pelicans. And in the third quarter, the Lakers showcased a different sort of entertainment, the good old on-court tussle. Starring: Luka Doncic, Dalton Knecht and Jarred Vanderbilt. Importantly, the concerned rookie coach JJ Redick had an important role to play in it. Or else things could have gone south for the LA side.
Around the 3rd minute mark in the third quarter, rookie Knecht sprinted to the bucket for a fastbreak flush. At that time, Pelicans’ Bruce Brown, who already ruffled Bron’s feathers in the first quarter, pulled him down in an attempt to foul him. Unfortunately, the 23-year-old, already mid-way through the air, took an ugly fall. He definitely seemed to be in pain, as he laid on the floor for a moment.
Luka Doncic rushed to the spot to check on him, but on his way, he shoved Brown’s hands away. That’s it, it ignited the fire. Jarred Vanderbilt jumped right to throw a hand. Before things could go wrong, guess what happened? Let’s hear it from the announcer. “JJ came immediately to get Vando away from there. Doncic was the one who initially pushed Brown after Knecht went down.”
This is a developing story!
