It rattled in the NBA …
The Houston Rockets conceded their seventh defeat in a row against the Denver Nuggets 111: 124. But due to a huge cabin squabble, the bankruptcy almost faded into the background.
What happened?
The assistant coach John Lucas is said to have mercilessly criticized the Rockets stars Kevin Porter Jr. (21) and Christian Wood (26) in the cabin in front of the team, reports the broadcaster “ESPN”. Then the scraps flew. There should have been a wild discussion. The result: Porter Jr. stormed out of the Toyota Center and did not take part in the second half.
After the game, trainer Stephen Silas (49) spoke of a “heated debate” at the PK, but did not give any details. The coach explained: “I have certain demands on my team in terms of passion and I was not satisfied with the effort today.”
Porter Jr. was officially absent from the second half due to problems with his thigh. Wood was also no longer used. Experts are now expecting severe disciplinary penalties for the two Rockets stars.
