A Oklahoma City Thunder-Washington Wizards game got heated at the end of the first half on Saturday, and the result was four players getting ejected.
With 27 seconds to go in the second quarter, the Wizards’ Justin Champagnie and the Thunder’s Jaylin Williams exchanged shoves under the basket. The confrontation quickly escalated and spilled over into the baseline stands as multiple players from both teams charged in.
The cameras weren’t spared from the violence.
After a lengthy review, the officials hit Champagnie and Williams with double technical fouls, triggering an automatic ejection. Thunder players Ajay Mitchell and Cason Wallace, who were at the center of the brawl, were also hit with a single tech and ejected for “escalating the altercation,” as the official put it.
The Wizards ended up receiving two free throws from the incident. OKC entered halftime with a 69-64 lead, but down three rotation players.
