Earlier in the quarter, Smith and Damian Lillard went chest to chest after Lillard took exception to this play below.

In postgame interviews, the Blazers emphatically said this was not a retaliation incident.

Dame Lillard agreed Davis' foul wasn't retaliation. Lillard said he and J.Smith spoke after game and resolved issue about the moving screen.
