Frustration is boiling over in Laker land and on Sunday night, Nick Young took it all out on Anthony Tolliver.  The incident took place in the fourth quarter with 8 minutes, 57 seconds left, Young tried to dunk over Detroit’s Anthony Tolliver, who fouled him. Young went down hard, got up and pushed Tolliver.

Young was given a flagrant 2 foul and was ejected from the game. He believes however that he will not be suspended.

“I didn’t punch him or nothing,” Young said. “I pushed him. It shouldn’t be that bad.”  Though he pressed his forearm into Tolliver’s throat, Young said, “It’s still not his face, though.”

Young said the play stemmed from frustration, as the Lakers are now 3-17 after the 111-91 loss to the Pistons.

“It’s tough,” he said. “There’s a lot of frustration. It’s a struggle and it’s building up.”

He added, “Everything happened on that play. He just happened to be the one that sparked the incident.”
