What started as trolling during Sunday night’s game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Portland Trail Blazers, turned into two NBA stars exchanging words on Twitter. If you all watched the game, which the Lakers eventually won, Patrick Beverly and Damian Lillard went at each other all night. As the game came to a close, Pat Bev was seen checking out the game late in the fourth, mocking Dame’s “Dame Time” celebration.

His trolling continued in the post-game interview where he boldly stated, “If he (Dame) would have cooked me, you would have said I couldn’t guard him. But he misses a couple shots, and it’s a slow shooting night. Nah, just said I did a good job on Dame. It sound better.”
Not even 24 hours after the game, Dame took to Twitter to respond to a video of Pat saying the above statement.
Con man. Flip from above the rim https://t.co/EpKvfyY3VG

And of course, Pat Bev responded.
