Let’s go back to the NBA bubble in Disney World for a moment.
It was on the court in August that Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon was going to the hoop and Toronto Raptors veteran guard Kyle Lowry fouled him hard, a mid-air clothesline that was dangerous. It led to some words between the two in which Gordon called him out and Lowry responded by telling the forward which hotel room he was staying in (you can see all of this below).
On Sunday, the two went at each other again, and things got ugly.
First, here’s what went down in the bubble to spark this whole thing:

On Sunday, there was this from under the hoop from Lowry to Gordon:

And Gordon reacted with this (if you’re a lip-reader, you can see Lowry appear tell “T-Ross” — ex-Raptor Terrence Ross — something like, “I’m going to [expletive] him up.”)

We won’t have to wait long for a third chapter. The Magic and Raptors face off again on Tuesday night. I’m sure there will be warnings ahead of that game, though.
