Patrick Beverley and Austin Reaves got into it a little bit during the Philadelphia 76ers-Los Angeles Lakers game in Philly.
Beverley and Reaves were teammates on the Lakers last season before Beverley was traded to the Orlando Magic.
After getting bought out by the Magic, Beverley signed with his hometown Chicago Bulls. On March 26 in Los Angeles, Beverley scored on LeBron James and hit him with the “too small” gesture.
Reaves then hit the “too small” gesture at Beverley on March 29 in Chicago and Beverley will never forget that.
The Sixers destroyed the Lakers by 44 points. Beverley finished with 12 points, six rebounds and three assists while shooting 4-of-9 from the field and 4-of-8 from beyond the arc.

“I mean, they made a lot of 3s, we didn’t, and they beat the s— out of us,” Reaves said. “So, I don’t know. Go back and watch this and get better.”
