The away crowd booed Josh Giddey for a second-straight game but the jeering did not prevent Oklahoma City Thunder from running out 126-120 winners against the fast-finishing Dallas Mavericks.
Australian guard Giddey, 21, is being investigated by the Newport Beach Police Department after a since-deleted social media account claimed he had an improper relationship with a minor.
The NBA is also looking into the matter but Giddey has been permitted to continue playing as no criminal charges have been laid.
