The first duel between the Houston Rockets and the Los Angeles Lakers was at times heated. Markieff Morris and DeMarcus Cousins clashed among other things, the NBA now fined both players (click here for the video).
Morris pays $ 35,000 after starting a scuffle with Rockets Center cousins. Previously, Lakers forward Jae’Sean had fouled Tate hard and conceded a Flagrant 1 foul.
Cousins, on the other hand, is only asked to pay for $ 10,000, he had pushed Morris to the ground and received a technical foul for it. In the game, Morris also got a T at the same time, i.e. at the end of the first quarter.
According to the NBA, Morris has to pay significantly more because he was responsible for the further escalation of the situation and was “aggressive” towards cousins. The Lakers forward was ejected, but in the end the Lakers won with a sovereign 120: 102.
