Oklahoma City Thunder forward Serge Ibaka and Los Angeles Clippers forward Matt Barnes were ejected from Wednesday night's NBA game in L.A. after a scuffle that broke out with 6.2 seconds left in the first half.
Ibaka got his arms tangled up with Clippers forward Blake Griffin after attempting to block his shot, then shoved Griffin a bit to get his arm free. Barnes immediately stepped in with a shove to Ibaka's chest. Ibaka cocked his right fist but did not throw a punch, and teammates from both sides stepped in before a major brawl broke out.
After the officials reviewed the play, Barnes and Ibaka were ejected while Griffin was charged for a technical foul. The scuffle seemed to light a fire under the Clippers, who were down 58-52 at the time of the scuffle but went on to win the game 111-103.
