Vince Carter was not pleased. Prior to getting fouled on a putback last week, Carter had roamed into the mid-post area with his back to the basket like an honest-to-goodness wing from the 2000s. A second after he got there, the opposing small forward jogged over and pointed Carter in the back with an elbow. Carter turned, saw who had jabbed him, and made a mental note that he saved for the next dead ball.
"Watch the elbows, please," Carter said.
Carter, who didn't enter the game until the start of the second quarter, was fully riled up at that point.
