On Tuesday night, the Portland Trail Blazers blew out the Los Angeles Lakers on their home floor by a score of 108-87. While the final score was certainly lopsided, for two and a half quarters -- the game remained close with several lead changes and ties.

Following the game, Lillard spoke about the incident -- saying "I'm from Oakland, I'm not with that extra stuff..." and "He poked the bear, you [saw] what happened..."
Lillard's star running mate, CJ McCollum, agreed and described Russell's actions as 'not smart':
The Lakers and Blazers play each other again on Jan. 25 at The Moda Center in Portland, which tells me we haven't written the last chapter of this drama.
