LeBron James and Dillon Brooks faced off on Sunday as the Lakers took on the Rockets. It was the second matchup between James and Brooks since the latter signed with Houston during the offseason, but things haven’t changed in terms of their high-intensity battles.
That was evident Sunday when James was whistled for a technical foul during the second quarter of the game after shoving Brooks with his forearm.
Brooks was whistled for a reach after he grabbed onto James while trying to evade a screen from Anthony Davis. After James tossed the ball back to the ref, he gave Brooks a bit of a shove with his forearm.
