Things have been feisty lately between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Brooklyn Nets, who have been battling it out in the first round of the NBA playoffs.
But tempers began to boil over in the third quarter of Game 4 at Barclays Center on Saturday.
It all started under the 76ers’ net when Joel Embiid served up a hard foul on Jarret Allen by the rim, sparking the fracas. Jared Dudley quickly approached Embiid and began shoving him, leading Jimmy Butler to jump into the scuffle.
But it was a scrap between Dudley and Ben Simmons that sent the brawl into the stands.
Butler and Dudley were subsequently ejected from the game for their roles in the melee.
