Fiiiiight!!! In case you missed it last night, Roy Hibbert was ejected following a brawl that broke out when he and David Lee exchanged shoves under the basket after a missed shot. Of course, teammates jumped in and it got crazy! Stephen Curry better stop jumping into sh*t! He got tossed around a couple times. Lol.
Check out the video and details of what happened after the jump…
Via ESPN:
“There were two or three guys coming after (Hibbert),” Pacers forward David West said. “We preach and talk about togetherness, so that’s part of what we’re going to do. We’re going to defend one another. They came after him too many times.”
West, who had 28 points and seven rebounds, also was called for a technical foul, along with the Warriors’ Lee, Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, for the altercation.
No players left the bench.
Curry tried to push Hibbert away and was shoved twice to the court as the fight went from the key to the baseline.
“Seriously, I didn’t even feel him,” Hibbert said of Curry. “I saw some light-skinned guy. I don’t know if it was Klay Thompson or Steph Curry, I just knew there was a light-skinned guy by me.”
Hibbert believes he will face a suspension.
“Indiana’s a very physical team,” Lee said. “They’re one of the most physical teams, if not the most physical team in the East.”
George Hill had 23 points and seven assists, and Paul George had 21 points and 11 rebounds for the Pacers (36-21), who have won five straight.
Curry scored a season-high 38 points and Thompson had 13 for the Warriors (33-24), who had a three-game winning streak snapped.
“It was just physical play,” Curry said. “Teams are gearing up for playoff basketball and amping up the intensity a little bit.”
