To say that the Los Angeles Lakers-Phoenix Suns game on Friday night was emotional on both sides would be a massive understatement.
Dwight Howard and Anthony Davis were caught beefing on the sidelines. Rajon Rondo got into it with a fan sitting courtside, pointing finger guns at him and eventually getting him ejected.
Even LeBron James looked downright fed up with the game, as evidenced by one play where the Lakers star rejected Cam Johnson then proceeded to dog it right after in apparent disinterest.

King James was also caught trying to shut up Suns guard Cam Payne, who was apparently talking too much trash for his taste. The Lakers star was seen shouting at him to “be humble” as he was a player nearly out of the league just a year and a half ago.

The Lakers-Suns rivalry is alive and well. The two teams faced off during the first round of the NBA playoffs last year and had more than a few flare-ups just like this one.
With Los Angeles retooling their roster with the additions of Russell Westbrook and Carmelo Anthony, they're still eons away from where they want to be at the end of the season. Hopefully when these two teams meet again two months from now, both squads will be ready to go for their heavyweight fight.
