El SEGUNDO, Calif. -- Los Angeles Lakers coach Byron Scott said several of his players engaged in a verbal "altercation" on the bench during the fourth quarter of Tuesday's 120-109 loss to the Denver Nuggets, which dropped the Lakers to 0-4 this season.
"It was late in the fourth quarter, where we were losing the game and guys weren't happy," Scott said after practice Wednesday at the team's facility here.
"A few guys kind of discussed it in a very angry way. If they would have just sat on the bench with a smile on their face, I would've been much more concerned.
