Reaves also gave it back to the referee on the field and said, "That's Some Bulls**t For You To Talk To Me Like That, P***y." He later explained that the way the official spoke to him crossed the line. The Lakers guard further stated that players and referees are all adults and there was no need to yell directly in his face during the game.

Reaves also said that he believed that he would have received a technical foul if he had reacted in the same manner towards the referee. He added that he stayed calm during the exchange because he felt that the official knew he was wrong.

The game was frustrating for the Lakers as they were unhappy with several foul calls during the game. Los Angeles Lakers lost 125-107 to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Los Angeles committed 26 fouls, while Oklahoma City had 21. The Thunder also attempted more free throws during the game.
