Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle felt no need to explain his confrontation with Baron Davis on Tuesday night.

 

"I'm not going to talk about that," Carlisle said. "It was ... whatever."

 

Carlisle became angry with Davis after what he felt was a cheap shot on guard Jose Juan Barea.

 

"He basically thought I took a cheap shot on Barea," Davis told the Los Angeles Times. "Barea was flopping the whole night and he flopped on that play. So when Carlisle looked at me, 'That was a dirty play.'

 

"I was like, 'No it wasn't. This dude is flopping.' I guess he felt like he was protecting his player. So I told him to ... "

 

Davis acknowledged that he sprinkled in some colorful language. Carlisle didn't back down, appearing ready to brawl with the guard.

 

"He started cussing me out," Davis said. "I told him, 'Go have some lunch.' "

 

The Mavericks responded to Carlisle's fit of rage with a 10-0 run to close out the Clippers.
