Lakers’ Randle explains late-game skirmish with Nuggets’ Jokic

Bad blood was brewing between the Los Angeles Lakers and Denver Nuggets once again Tuesday night. Fresh off a Friday game where Lakers coach Luke Walton accused Nuggets guard Jamal Murray of excessive trash talking, the teams met again in Los Angeles. Late in the game, a 112-103 Lakers win, L.A. forward Julius Randle and Nuggets forward Nikola Jokic were involved in a heated exchange.
