Multiple players were ejected after a fight broke out in the third quarter of the San Antonio Spurs’ matchup with the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday night.
With about three minutes left in the third quarter at the Frost Bank Center, Thunder forward Kenrich Williams was guarding Spurs forward Julian Champagnie on the wing. As Champagnie went to pass the ball inside, he appeared to elbow Williams in the face accidentally.
Regardless of the intent, Williams didn’t take it well. The two quickly went at it near the scorers table as Jeremy Sochan threw down a dunk. There was some shoving between the two players as coaches and officials ran in to break it up.
While it didn’t last long — the players were eventually separated without much issue — both Williams and Champagnie were hit with technical fouls and ejected from the game. Oklahoma City guard Lou Dort was ejected, too. Sochan received a technical foul for his actions after he ran into the scuffle after his dunk.
Champagnie had eight points when he was ejected. Dort finished with nine points and nine rebounds, and Williams had three rebounds and an assist. After the chaotic end to the quarter, the Thunder took a 108-100 lead into the final period.
