Continue to cover this incident between the Indiana Pacers and the Detroit Pistons fans
0:05
Again, you know, we cannot drive this home enough. This is something, you go across the board of the four of us here
0:12
we've been around a lot of sporting events, all right? Either playing in them or watching them
0:16
This is the worst thing I've ever seen. Well, the age of electronics is kicking in because I just got a beat from Joe Dumars
0:22
And one of the things he's taking issue with is us sitting up here right now
0:27
and basically saying that it was justified for those players to go into those stands
0:32
He says there's no justification. Regardless, the fans were wrong, but the players should not exacerbate the situation
0:37
But we're not saying that there's justification. What I'm trying to say is that you can definitely empathize with the reaction
0:43
of someone who was involved in a very volatile. You saw Zach Levine light him up, then Giannis, and then Jason Tatum
0:52
Tonight, it's their number one guy, Jeremy Grant. Oh, oh Stewart and LeBron
0:59
Stewart is hot and everybody's coming out now Now this is ridiculous
1:11
You got he must have caught an elbow or something but oh yeah He's he's got a lot of blood streamer from the side of the eye. Look here goes Stewart
1:25
Yeah, I think he's a little upset
1:35
You've got coaches. You've got security guys. Look at Dwayne Casey. He's like, just calm down
1:43
And there's Cade Cunningham also. He was along the free throw line on the free throw
1:55
Durant. Oh, now Booker and Grant Williams are tangled up. As security hustles out onto the floor
2:06
We have a defensive foul on Grant Williams, and we are looking at the hostile act following the foul
2:13
The first foul on Williams is his third. He just wouldn't let Booker go. Yeah
2:18
Booker's embarrassed in the penalty. I don't know about that one. Booker to the Suns, right through the line shooting two
2:25
Booker and Williams still Exchanging pleasantries as he steps to the free throw line here
2:33
So the Warriors 10 and 2 That's going to be a goal 10
2:40
Uh oh, watch out Miles Bridges did not like the fact that Quinones went to score that one
2:47
Look at this They're all out there Coach Kerr is trying to break them up
2:53
Big John's got to Yoda's him. Easy, easy now. Grant Williams, I told you he's an agitator, so you knew he was going to be in the middle of things
3:07
It kind of worked out because the scuffle moved toward the Warrior bench
3:12
so they didn't have to go too far to let some people hear it
3:17
Look at it, they're going head-to-head there. You did it off the box
3:21
happy birthday Bernie thank you Mobley is fouled on the inside and then a technical foul
3:30
oh Jared Allen wants a piece of Ben Simmons that is rare that you see Jared
3:39
they're a little bit tied up so Donovan Mitchell got in between
3:47
Allen went back at Simmons and Simmons stood there and was Scoreless will stay zero zero the first two minutes and then
4:00
You got a full Frank is going on Raymon came in to defend Clay This got out of hand very quickly
4:08
Something like that. What was Jade McDaniels doing? They were going at each other's heads
4:14
That was serious. Showing a little frustration. And then Gordon bodying up
4:28
Offensive foul. And a technical foul on Victor Wendanjala
4:42
Trey Jones trying to hang on. Beal just picked up his third foul
4:47
And now Green runs over Nurkic. And he'll be called for the foul
4:51
And they're going to take a look at this. See Jason Goble indicating
4:57
That's the key. She's wind guarding Sohan to get the advantage of him and protect him
5:04
Okay, Sohan just tripped Jalen Green. He'll be a man in the back. Thompson getting it to him in the backcourt
5:09
And now those two have to be separated. He's frustrated, and he tripped him in the backcourt
5:16
Referees didn't see it. And then the men took exception and gave him a shove
5:21
He was not wrong. That's a dirty play that referees are going to see. It wouldn't be surprising if Sohan's out of here
5:26
Defense and see if the Bulls respond. Dosumu trying to hassle Bogdanovich
5:31
Bogdanovich, pull up, got it. Man, he is nice. Bogdanovich a little frustrated. That's why we had that delay. I was wondering if it spilled
5:40
You see Bogdanovich talking to Quinn Snyder. Wow, right into the face of Quinn Snyder
5:46
I wonder what the... Right after that, and look at Quinn Snyder, came immediately over. Wow
5:50
Let's hug it up. Let's hug it up. He's got the ball. Trying to make it a single-digit game at half
5:55
Tough screen by Nas Reed on Caruso. Morris in one motion as though, fling up a three
6:02
And Caruso and Gobert got into it a little bit. And Vucevic is settling Gobert down
6:07
Just letting out the release. And Caruso a little bit of a hip check there
6:12
And Gobert with a little extra at the end. And Vucevic immediately. They were among the league leaders in second half scoring and second half point advantage
6:21
And Grayson Allen got shoved down. And temper's starting to flare. And, guys, this is the last thing that you need for either
6:29
Him and Larry, to me, were the first two that you wanted to see all the time
6:33
Big time three from Fournier. And we got a little scuffle underneath
6:38
Julius Randle. Push. Cameron Johnson. Jerry, Jerry, Jerry. And coaches
6:49
Anything that was on the floor. I didn't see anything there. Oh, look at this. Oh, the words were between Dan Toney and Blake Griffin
6:57
And then Trevor Ariza comes over with the little elbow shove. And Ariza holding on for dear life
7:06
With it. Third foul on Gordon. You never want to hurt another player
7:11
And that's almost to the head area of Eric Gordon. That's not all that good in the third quarter
7:17
So maybe this continues. And Orlando with the turn of... Oh! Mo Vanya pushes Killian Hayes into the crowd
7:26
And now a melee. Where did the Pistons bench? They got to be careful
7:33
Nobody moves. Stay in your seats. Do not move from your seats
7:42
Everybody shut up. Left the camera on the floor. I'll tell you what
7:48
There aren't very many Orlando Magic players down on their bench. A lot of them are in this melee off the bench all the way down to the other end
8:00
That could end up being some suspensions for the Magic Fortunately for the Pistons it happened on their bench so it hard to discern as to you know who you could possibly say left the bench None of them left the
8:13
bench. They were all right there where the action was. Killian Hayes was thrown into the Pistons bench by Moe Wagner on a hard foul, and it
8:25
It looked like Wagner initially was apologetic, but the damage had been done
8:33
and tempers flared on both sides. As you mentioned, the entire Orlando bench
8:40
made its way over to the Pistons bench. Thankfully, no punches were thrown
8:44
but this officiating crew going to have to get together and try to sort it all out
8:51
So let's go back to the initial play. here's Killian Hayes going to get pushed by Wagner
8:57
pretty aggressively Hamadou's going to get Wagner right there in the back
9:03
Killian's going to get him too for an altercation that did not dissolve
9:08
I didn't see that in real time I didn't either so here it is
9:17
Hamadou gets Wagner first And Killian Hayes comes in from the backside
9:26
And that's when things got escalated. So the officials are going to take a look at exactly what we're looking at
9:38
See coaches from both sides coming in, trying to separate. I'll tell you this much
9:45
Maul Mosley, head coach of the Orlando Magic, right in the middle of it as well
9:49
trying to get his guys out of there. if there's an Orlando Magic coach who's responsible for telling the guys that are on the bench
9:56
stay back, stay back, he must have got ran over. We do this great interview
10:01
He's awesome. And as we're getting ready to say goodbye. Oh, Craig
10:05
Uh-oh. We got another one. Another meeting between the Rockets and an opponent
10:14
Those two got into it the last time I saw Utah. and I'm sure Jabari had not forgotten
10:20
taking exception. This one is broken up much quicker than the one the other out against the Bulls
10:25
In all fairness, Dunn really went at Jabari last time and he did again
10:31
Clearly, those two didn't forget and nothing connected. A lot of kind of shirt crap in there
10:39
He tried. Dunn did look like a little bit of a punch motion
10:44
Jabari was ready to throw. Those two have history. They locked up very similarly the last time
10:51
I don't know if these two are going to be able to finish the ball game because the intention..
10:55
After review, Dunn and Smith have both been assessed fighting technical fouls
10:59
and are both ejected from the game. Play will resume with a Houston throw-in in the backcourt with 19 on the shot clock
11:05
All right, so they're both gone. That was Mark Lindsay, your crew chief. So Jabari Smith Jr. has been ejected, as has Chris Dunn
11:13
Oh, you have a fight on the other end Rivers and Mo Bamba getting into it
11:19
I have no idea what happened But it is an all-out melee
11:25
Under the basket right now Yeah, Austin Rivers Got some good I think Bamba came off the bench
11:33
To throw punches at Rivers That's crazy There will be a number of ejections here
11:42
and Bamba is still hot. I've never seen that before
11:52
Torian Prince is hot too, by the way. Jalen Suggs, a takedown of Austin Rivers
12:03
That may cost Jalen an ejection there That might Jeff but if two players are just No I know as a teammate you got to jump in there I just saying what the fallout may be
12:16
Following players have been issued technical fouls and ejected from the game
12:22
Austin rivers, Torian Prince, McDaniels, and Suggs. I think even the Minnesota fans are unhappy with Suggs ejection
12:46
Harden fouled by Ingram. Do they count it? No. They say the foul occurred before the gather
12:52
And he never put the ball back down. And I think another technical foul's been handed out
12:58
Now Ingram looks like he's confronting Jason Phillips. Well, the technical foul was on Ingram for shoving James Harden after that play
13:06
I'm not sure why, what happened. Ingram was usually pretty mild-mannered. It was hot
13:16
Now Paul, oh, punches a throw. Paul and Rondell throwing punches. Ingram comes in
13:21
He's throwing punches. Security trying to separate. So are some of the teammates
13:26
Boy, that quickly erupted into something ugly Getting Paul out of it
13:32
As Mark said, when Chris Paul was over here He said that Rondo spit on him
13:40
Back out to Butler, doesn't hesitate And a good decision by Jimmy Butler
13:46
Who has 24 Uh-oh, uh-oh, watch out We've got a fight, watch out
13:50
Lump it, and Ibaka throwing punches Oh yeah, let me tell ya
13:55
yeah they threw some big ones there they got to get Ibaka out of here now I don't know who started
14:01
it all right because you can see we were going the other way now right now Miritich is coming
14:07
down here now he's got it he's got to understand you got to stay in again happens right here uh a
14:13
little in the back by Ibaka and Lopez is telling him now so he takes the ball out of his hand and
14:19
that's what starts it now you're going to see as they reach by grabbing Lopez's side of his neck
14:25
Lopez lands a punch, but then Ibaka come back and he lands one
14:30
Friday night fights. Yeah, boy. Oh, Ibaka just ducked out of harm's way and then countered with that right hand
14:38
No, see, DeRozan does a great thing. 46 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists
14:50
And Lyle with Lopez. Oh, Lyle with Lopez going at it. Coach is getting involved
14:58
He spills into the scorers table. And Lopez, he has been upset the entire second half
15:12
And look at Lopez, a man possessed. Well, I said play with force
15:23
So, there's that. This has been a very physical game from the very beginning
15:29
Lopez has been irritated since the time he got his eye busted open
15:34
Trey Lyles, he don't care. He's going to step to you. Let's take a look here
15:40
Lyles committed the foul, and then he just mushed Lopez in the face
15:46
But Lopez has been chirping this entire second half. That doesn't show the whole lead-up to the whole altercation
15:55
I'm going to say this. I do not condone fighting. Yes. But the team that I have been covering over the last several years
16:06
hasn't had that type of fight in them. And if you want to get to the postseason, if you want to have success
16:12
you need to have a little bit of a..
