The Lakers’ locker room was light Saturday night, both before the game and after it. Players teased each other about various college basketball situations pregame.
Post-game, nearly every interview was interrupted by some goofiness, whether it was Lonzo Ball mocking Kyle Kuzma’s highlighter-colored hat or Kuzma piping up during Josh Hart’s post-game interview to warn Hart about what he was going to tell us all when it was his turn.
While Tyson Chandler conducted his post-game interview, he, LeBron James and Lance Stephenson got into their own little roasting battle. It started when James loudly mentioned the Lakers having blown out the Suns twice — then mischievously looking in the direction of Chandler, who played for the Suns in that first meeting.
