HOUSTON - After Jarred Vanderbilt was ejected in the first half of Monday's 135-119 loss to the Houston Rockets for a run-in with Dillon Brooks, several members of the Los Angeles Lakers defended Vanderbilt's actions against Houston's agitating forward.

Brooks fouled Vanderbilt on a dunk with 11:03 remaining in the second quarter while Vanderbilt was airborne. Not long after, Brooks jostled Vanderbilt with his arm while he was under the rim as Austin Reaves' made a pull-up jump shot with 10:17 to go in the second.
