David Lee better watch out! Dwight Howard is waiting for him! The next meeting won’t be until April 12th (my birthday – yay), but Dwight will probably have something in store as payback for David Lee’s elbow to Dwight’s mouth. Check out what happened & what Dwight had to say about it after the jump…
Via ESPN:
The Golden State Warriors smacked, cajoled and dominated the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday night.
It left a bloodied Dwight Howard vowing retaliation afterward, for a play he said Warriors center David Lee “got away with.”
“I will take care of it later,” Howard said.
Howard was limited to 11 points on 4-for-8 shooting in the Lakers’ 109-103 loss to a Stephen Curry-inspired Warriors team.
But it was Lee who stirred Howard’s ire. During the second quarter, Howard was whistled for a technical foul on a play in which his lip was cut when he was smacked in the face by a Lee elbow, shortly before the Lakers entered the locker room with a 63-40 halftime deficit.
“He got away with a shot,” Howard said, according to Yahoo! Sports. “I will remember this game. I will remember that shot. He said he wasn’t trying to do it. You can look at the play and see it for yourself. I will take care of it later.”
Howard, who required three stitches for the cut, will have a bit of a wait. The Lakers host the Warriors two weeks from Friday, on April 12, in the third-to-last regular-season game for both teams.
