The Lakers, who are behind in the big score, have changed the mentality of the players on the court. After a failed inside single, Westbrook clashed with Nuggets player Aaron Gordon, and the two sides were eventually whistled for technical fouls.
In the third quarter of the game, Westbrook burst into the inside line and was blocked to stop the ball, and in the confrontation he collided with Gordon and fell to the ground. Wei Shao stood up and looked very angry, and directly went to Gordon to confront him. Fortunately, the teammates on both sides were very sensible and quickly separated the two. In slow motion, Gordon didn't overdo the defensive moves.
In the ensuing round, Gordon received a pass from his opponent and hit a three-point shot, while Westbrook caused Gordon's fourth foul on the offensive end. Nuggets coach Malone then chose to replace Gordon, temporarily calming the gunpowder smell on the court.
