Patrick Beverley doesn't feel containing LeBron James is at all difficult.

Following the Los Angeles Clippers' 112-103 loss to the Lakers on Sunday, Beverley denied the idea that marking the four-time MVP is an ordeal.

"No challenge. No challenge," Beverley told Spectrum SportsNet's Harrison Sanford when asked what it's like to guard James.

"Not hard at all," he later continued.

James finished with 28 points in the win, adding nine assists and seven rebounds while shooting 2-of-6 from three. Beverley, meanwhile, was limited to two points, four rebounds, and one assist in just over 26 minutes.

The advanced numbers weren't much kinder to Beverley. He had the worst offensive rating among all Clippers players in their loss, and his minus-29.1 net rating was better only than that of center Ivica Zubac.

Coincidentally, James was one of the contest's best defenders. He posted the Lakers' best defensive rating, with the team allowing just 85.1 points per 100 possessions while on the floor.

Tensions between the two flared slightly at one point after Beverley swatted the ball away from James following a break in play. James responded by shaking the guard off with his arm, quickly drawing a crowd as players worked to separate them.
