Brown explains heated exchange with Monk in Kings' loss to Hornets

Recklessness and carelessness haunted the Kings in their ugly 111-104 loss to the Charlotte Hornets on Tuesday night.

Emotions ran high at Golden 1 Center and even carried over to the Kings' bench when Mike Brown and Malik Monk got into a heated exchange during a third-quarter timeout.

Brown was seen walking and leaning over to Monk during the break as the two shared words with each other. While it's unknown what was being said, it's clear by body language alone that it wasn't a friendly chat. After the game, Brown explained what happened in that moment and what escalated things to get there.
