The most anticipated matchup takes place in the NBA. The Los Angeles Lakers return home to face the Detroit Pistons. While it isn’t a famous matchup, the history of this season says something else.

A massive scuffle involving LeBron James and Isaiah Stewart took place in their last game. They both faced each other tonight for the first time since then. However, another player may have entered this contest.

The previous encounter had turned ugly between these two as Stewart tried to go for LeBron after getting hit with an elbow. Now, as the Pistons come to the Staples, both teams went to battle as soon as the whistle rang.

While the Lakers fight to make their way over .500, the Pistons are fighting to be a competing team.

In such a stiff competition, both teams went right at each other – keeping the contest close until the third quarter. However, in the second quarter, LeBron got a foul on a successful flop against Cunningham, and he had some words for the ‘King’.

While in the post with Cunningham, he was doing a good job of keeping LeBron off the ball. This is when James got pushed to the ground by Cunningham and won a foul. While going up to the free throw line, Cunningham and LeBron exchanged words.

We are not clear on the words being exchanged. However, it seems that LeBron was explaining the foul to his opponent.
