Pat Beverley had played a nasty trick on the Lakers in Los Angeles, allowing himself to chamber LeBron James with a “too small” gesture which ultimately backfired…
Because last night, in Chicago, the “Purple & Gold” took revenge, first by winning logically behind the 38 points of Anthony Davis. But also by giving back to Pat Beverley the change of his coin.
We have seen the “King” talk a lot to Pat Beverley. We especially saw Austin Reaves repeat the “too small” gesture after scoring a basket against the Chicago leader late in the game. “AR (Austin Reaves) always supports me” laughed LeBron James. “Even though he preferred Kobe growing up. But hey, I forgive him (laughs).
For his part, Pat Beverley expected the response of the Lakers. That’s the game…
“I was expecting it. I knew it was going to come out at some point. I’m glad he did.” he even assures about Austin Reaves. “He’s playing the right way. And he has been playing like this since the start of the season. He lets things come to him and he’s really, really smart on the pick-and-roll. »
As for Austin Reaves, he explains that it is good child.
“It wasn’t something I thought about the whole game. But it was the right time, and the right situation to do it. Me and Pat, we have a very good relationship. I respect him. It’s just competition. »
