It was the game where the whole camera on Sunday day NBA, but with stars all over it, it was two controversial plays that sparked the duel between them Houston Rockets and Los Angeles Lakers. The main characters? DeMarcus Cousins, LeBron James and Markieff Morris.
Cousins had just been sent off last Monday with only three minutes of play and in the game against the Lakers, they only had to pass 8 for the same story to happen. The first controversy came because DeMarcus wanted to defend a Rockets teammate who fell to the ground after action with Morris.
Cousins’ response was to push Morris and with the force of the action, Markieff landed on the ground. Straight away, the Lakers player got up and confronted DeMarcus with another push. Had they not divorced, there would have been an NBA-style fight on the floor of the Toyota Center.
FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT
