After D’Angelo Russell committed an offensive foul, his sixth personal of the game, Rockets guard Patrick Beverley faced the courtside fans and shouted toward them.
The Lakers went on to lose to the Houston Rockets, 139-100, on Wednesday night.
It was their second consecutive 39-point loss in Houston. For the second straight game, Russell came off the bench. For the first time in his career, he fouled out. Russell finished with five points on two-of-10 shooting, missed all five of his three-point shots, had two assists, two rebounds and seven turnovers.
With the focus on how their guards would respond to the situation they faced, the Lakers forwards instead carried the team’s offensive burden.
