Rajon Rondo Family Member Confronted Chris
0-3 Start: 'It's A Process;
Paul’s Wife After Brawl
I Understand That'
The beef between Rajon Rondo and Chris Paul ap- parently got even more per- sonal after their actual physical altercation on Sat- urday night.
The two veteran point guards traded a number of punches during the Houston Rockets’ 124-115 win over the Los Angeles Lakers at Staples Center following a fourth-quarter incident where Rondo allegedly spit at Paul. The incident led to both players (along with Brandon Ingram, who also threw punches) being ejected. Suspensions may possibly be incoming as well.
A member of Rondo’s family also reportedly con- fronted Paul’s wife, Jada, in the wake of the brawl.
The Rondo family mem- ber also reportedly made “in- appropriate” comments to

"So, I didn't come here thinking we were going to be

blazing storms right out of the gate. It's a process, and I un- derstand that."
On the one hand, the Lak- ers probably wouldn't have overcome an early 18-point deficit to the Spurs if James hadn't pumped in 32 points, 14 assists and 8 rebounds on the night -- including a tying 28-foot 3-pointer from the top of the key with 3.3 seconds left in regulation.

The two guards are cer-
tainly no strangers to alter- cations with other players, but Saturday night’s incident was a whole new level of ugly, especially since it esca- lated to the point of their families getting involved too. Rondo claims he didn't spit in Paul's face. He said he had a heated verbal ex- change with a mouthpiece in his mouth. Rondo claims Chris Paul is a dirty player.
