During the Houston Rockets’ 107-97 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, head coach Ime Udoka was ejected following a sideline spat with LeBron James.
Udoka and James argued right in front of an official, which in turn led to technicals against the coach and player, respectively, with Udoka himself ejected from the game.
Both Udoka and James refuse to say what they said to each other.
“We had some conversation and [the refs] didn’t like what they heard,” Udoka said.
