PHOENIX -- Early in the fourth quarter of the Lakers' victory over the Suns on Saturday, things got physical between Sasha Vujacic and Goran Dragic. Vujacic didn't take kindly to Dragic hitting a jumper, then talking some trash and bumping him from behind, so Sasha accidentally-on-purpose raised his arms once contact was made, and caught Dragic under the chin with an elbow. Video of the incident can be seen in the following clip.
Vujacic was assessed a flagrant foul on the play, and that was that in terms of any lingering issues between the two players the rest of the way. Dragic was asked afterward if he thought Vujacic should have been thrown out for his role in the altercation.
"Yeah, a little bit," Dragic said. "But that's the referee's decision, not mine. I just want to play basketball."
And did Dragic have any malicious words for Vujacic, as the replay seemed to show? According to Goran, whatever he was seen saying wasn't directed at Vujacic.
"No, I was just talking to myself, because I was really hot and just [wanted] to stay aggressive," Dragic said. "But I never spoke with Sasha, I didn't tell him nothing. I was just into the game."
Dragic was really into the game after this hit -- he went on a personal 8-0 run that brought the Laker lead from 17 points down to nine in a heartbeat, which set the stage for the late Suns rally that ultimately fell just a little bit short.
