Usually mascots are out on the floor to entertain fans and have fun at the opposing team’s expense.
When Clarkson drove hard to the hoop and almost ran into the Cavaliers mascot, it appears that Clarkson said some words to Moondog, who was trying to prevent Clarkson from falling out of control into the stands.
Well, whatever Clarkson said to the Cavaliers mascot didn’t set to well before Moondog went hard after Clarkson, before thinking better of it and turning around.
It’s unknown what Clarkson said to make the Cavaliers mascot upset, but with the Lakers getting throttled by the Cavaliers, he probably wasn’t in too good of a mood to begin with.
As for Moondog, he quickly realized to let his team’s play do the talking and the sight of the scoreboard with the Cavaliers boasting a huge lead probably made it easy for him to turn around and not start a player-mascot brawl.
