Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond knocked Toronto Raptors forward James Johnson after Johnson posterized him on the prior offensive possession during the fourth quarter of Friday night's game at The Palace at Auburn Hills.
Johnson drove down the baseline and threw down an absolute monster one-handed dunk over Drummond:
Naturally, Drummond was not happy, so when Johnson got the ball on the next Raptors possession and tried to drive to the basket, Drummond decked him with his forearm and hip:
The play by Drummond sparked a minor scuffle on the court, and although no punches were thrown, four players (including Drummond) were given technical fouls. Drummond was called for a flagrant 1 for the body check on Johnson.
Drummond finished with 7 points and 11 rebounds, but Johnson got the last laugh with 12 points and 8 rebounds as the Raptors won the game 110-100. The Pistons have now lost 12 straight games at home.
