VIDEO: Robin Lopez crowns Andrew Bogut, Klay Thompson avenges his teammate
An eye for an eye, a poster for a poster.
That was the law in Portland on Sunday, with Robin Lopez finding himself on the giving and receiving end of a vicious dunk against the Golden State Warriors.
First, it was Lopez doing the damage, driving the lane and throwing one down all over Andrew Bogut:
That didn't go unnoticed, and in the fourth quarter, Klay Thompson came to the aid of his postered center. It was... yikes:
That should have taught Lopez. Except it didn't.
After the game Lopez tweeted his displeasure with the word steamrolled in a USA Today headline that describes the Thompson dunk and offered his own dunk on Bogut as the counter argument.
Evaded is defined by The Merriam-Webster Dictionary as "to manage to avoid esp. by dexterity or slyness."
Neither evaded nor steamrolled are words used to describe good defence.
