Damian Lillard and D'Angelo Russell Go Face-to-Face in On-Court Confrontation

Los Angeles Lakers guard D'Angelo Russell may want to think twice before he stirs the pot again with Portland Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard.

Although things could have escalated, Lillard and Russell did a good job of keeping their cool. After the game, Lillard made it clear he doesn't have time for nonsense:
