The Lakers have some issues that go beyond X’s and O’s, Kobe Bryant’s health and D’Angelo Russell’s inexperience. Near the end of the Lakers’ 120-109 loss to the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday at Staples Center, Lakers coach Byron Scott said there was “a little bit of a verbal altercation.”
“That’s good,” Scott said after practiced on Wednesday at the Lakers’ practice facility in El Segundo. They tell me that they care. I want to see more fight in our guys. We want to try to stop the bleeding as soon as possible.”
Scott declined to name any players, other than saying that Kobe Bryant was not involved in the altercation.
