The Los Angeles Lakers' season came to an end on Sunday with a comeback win against the Denver Nuggets on the road.
Player of the Game EFF 47 Austin Reaves Points 31 Accuracy 7-17 Rebounds 16 Assists 10
Malik Monk’s career-high 41 points and Austin Reaves's historic 31-point, 16-rebound, 10-assist triple-double, were overshadowed by reports surrounding heading coach Frank Vogel’s expected dismissal and Wayne Ellington's reaction to Facundo Campazzo's dirty play.
The Lakers veteran, who had one of the best games of the season with 18 points off the bench, took to Twitter to threaten Nuggets guard after his hit that led to a Flagrant 2 foul call and ejection.
After being hit by Campazzo, Ellington’s head hit teammate Wenyen Gabriel’s leg on his way to the ground. Gabriel also got called for a flagrant for shoving Markus Howard.
While Ellington was down for a bit, he eventually got up and ended up being OK, playing a big part in the Lakers’ comeback victory.
However, a couple of hours after the buzzer, Ellington went to Twitter with a threat. "When I see you I’m putting my hands on you, Facu Campazzo," he wrote.
The 31-year-old Argentinian guard finished his second NBA season with 5.1 points, 1.8 rebounds and 3.4 assists in 18 minutes per game. Ellington produced similar numbers: 6.7 points on 39% three-point shooting and 1.8 rebounds per contest.
Since it is the offseason, Ellington likely won't see Campazzo for a while, but we will have to see if he keeps his promise when he runs across him next season.
