During his media session, Beverley prodded ESPN reporter Dave McMenamin, who characterized Lillard's 5-of-17 shooting performance as “a slow shooting night.”.

In reality, the tension between Beverley and Lillard began on the court Sunday night.

Patrick Beverley and the LA Lakers made a 25-point second half comeback in a 121-112 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday.

The Lakers were outscored 45-13 in the second quarter, the widest margin by any NBA team in any quarter this season, per ESPN.

But that is why the Lakers brought him in this past offseason and he did his job perfectly on Sunday night. It’s the best way to watch player interviews, exclusive coverage from events, participate in live shows, and more!

While many don’t care for the antics of the Lakers guard, he does make a good point about getting credit for making things difficult. In the fourth quarter, Lillard missed all four of his shots as the Lakers completed their comeback, LeBron James and Thomas Bryant will get much of the love for the Los Angeles Lakers’ improbable comeback victory over the Portland Trail Blazers Sunday night, but there was another huge catalyst in the win as well.
