LOS ANGELES -- For the third straight meeting, a Denver Nuggets-Los Angeles Lakers game got heated toward the end. This time, it was Lakers forward Julius Randle and Nuggets center Nikola Jokic who had to be separated from one another.
With 21 seconds remaining, the two big men were locked up together on their way down the court, before Randle shoved Jokic to the floor. The two had been going at it for most of the game, and Jokic took exception to the shove.
Randle and Jokic walked toward one another but were quickly separated before anything escalated.
