The feud between Dillon Brooks and LeBron James only grew before Game 3, and it appears things came to a head in the series’s first game in L.A.
Brooks was ejected from Saturday’s Game 3 against the Lakers early into the second half after being assessed with a flagrant 2 for hitting LeBron James in the groin.
While James was attempting to dribble the ball up the court, Brooks picked him up before half court in order to apply some pressure. While James attempted to dribble behind his back, Brooks reached in with his left hand, ultimately hitting the Lakers’ star in a rather unfortunate location.
