‘Brothers’ have heated conversation
There was a heated exchange near the Kings’ bench between guard Buddy Hield and small forward Iman Shumpert during a timeout with 4:37 remaining in the first half after Memphis guard Wayne Selden Jr. threw down an emphatic dunk following an offensive rebound.
Both players downplayed the incident after the game.
“It was nothing crazy,” Hield said. “We’re just teammates and we’re competitors. Something happened and he wanted to talk to me. After that, being a competitor, being in the moment, we all get hot.
