But you know me: Regardless of what’s going on, I’m a big fan of protecting my teammates. … I’m a foxhole guy.

That’s all I got to say.”Beverley’s Lakers teammates seemed to appreciate how he stood up for his young teammate, though.
“We got each other’s back. Pat is known for that: having his teammates’ backs,” Lakers forward Anthony Davis said after the game, perLakers point guard Russell Westbrook was also a fan, saying, “I love it, personally.
