A heated post-game exchange between Andrew Bogut and Nick Rakocevic has been detailed by CODE Sports.
Adelaide coach Mike Wells says he didn’t see a heated post-game exchange between Kings' assistant coach Andrew Bogut and 36ers' big man Nick Rakocevic, but CODE Sports has reported all the alleged details.
Following Sydney’s record 112-68 Game 1 win, the pair was involved in an altercation in the handshake line.
“The vision clearly shows Sydney’s NBA champion, turned assistant coach, attempting to shake the Adelaide big man’s hand,” CODE Sports said.
“Rakocevic brushes the handshake, keeps walking, and prompts Bogut to pat the Sixers centre on the back before giving him a thumbs up and saying, “good game”.
“It’s understood the frustrated 36ers' big responded saying, “Don’t touch me”.”
“I’ve got to be honest with you, I didn’t know anything about it,” 36ers' coach Mike Wells said post-game.
“I was first through the line, shook everyone’s hand and just went to the locker room."
