Dennis Schroder waits to see if the Lakers appreciated his second stint

DENNIS SCHRODER -- fists cuffed, arms flexed, brow furrowed, eyes bugged and mouth stretched open -- stares down Draymond Green.

The snapshot from the Los Angeles Lakers' eventual series-clinching Game 6 of their second-round bout with the Golden State Warriors captures the point guard in a pose that's intense, determined, preening -- and, as it turns out, premeditated.

"He told me before that game ... 'I might get ejected today. I'm going at Draymond,'" Lakers forward Anthony Davis told ESPN.

The defending champion Warriors were on the ropes, and Schroder -- all 6-foot-1, 172 pounds of him -- was intent on delivering the knockout blow.
