\nZion Williamson’s dunk wasn’t the real reason behind last night’s Pels-Suns altercation.
\nIt only confirmed the tension that’s existed since last April.
\nBut it will go down as the spark that ignited a new NBA rivalry the Pels are more than happy to join.

\nZion’s dunk was not the usual “running up the score” or “stat-padding” layup which usually triggers postgame altercations. This was a “die, bitch” dunk from hell. These teams just played a grueling playoff series against each other, and are now atop the West. All is fair. – 11:25 PM<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
