Lakers players in verbal spat late in Tuesday’s loss; Byron Scott sees it as a positive sign

EL SEGUNDO – For anyone hoping to see some fight from the Lakers in their latest loss, it was there. Just not on the court.

Late in the Lakers’ 120-109 loss to Denver on Tuesday, a few players were involved in a verbal spat on the team bench, Coach Byron Scott said Wednesday.

“We were losing the game and guys weren’t happy,” Scott said. “So a few guys discussed it in a very angry way. If they just sat on the bench and discussed it with a smile on their face, I would have been much more concerned.
