It started with Hansbrough and Ezeli were jockeying for position during a Warriors offensive position. After the Warriors scored, the trash talk continued up the court, at which point Ezeli pushed Hansbrough in the throat. Hansbrough went after Ezeli and they began wrestling, but were quickly separated by an official before any additional punches were thrown. Both players were given double technicals and sent to the locker room.
It was an overall disappointing night for the Raptors, who were blown out by the Warriors 113-89. However, Raptors coach Dwayne Casey showed some appreciation for the fight that Hansbrough displayed (via the AP):
"I was glad to see somebody ready to hit somebody," Casey said.DISCLAIMER: Holdout Sports does not condone fighting.
