Memphis Grizzlies forward Zach Randolph and Oklahoma City Thunder center Kendrick Perkins were ejected from Wednesday night's NBA game at the Chesapeake Energy Center after a verbal confrontation between the players in the late stages of the game.
With just over two minutes left in the fourth quarter as Thunder guard Russell Westbrook made the first of his two free throws. As the teams were lining up for the second free throw, Randolph and Perkins began jawing at each other. After television microphones appeared to pick up one of the players saying "I'll beat your a**", the referee immediately ejected Randolph and Perkins before the situation escalated.
Randolph finished with 20 points and a team-high 11 rebounds, while Perkins finished with 8 points and 2 rebounds. The Grizzlies defeated the Thunder 107-97.
