Dallas: Things got pretty wild during the game between the Mavericks and Suns on Friday. It all kicked off when tensions flared up in the third quarter.
Three players were tossed out: Jusuf Nurkić from the Suns and P.J. Washington and Naji Marshall from the Mavericks. It was a real mess!
So, here’s how it went down. Nurkić elbowed Dallas center Daniel Gafford, which got him an offensive foul. As he walked away, he seemed to hear something from Marshall and went over to confront him.
Marshall put his hands on Nurkić’s chest, and that’s when things escalated. Nurkić smacked Marshall in the head, and Marshall threw a punch back. The refs had to jump in to break it up.
It was a quick sequence: Nurkić fouls Gafford, then he pushes Marshall, and Marshall retaliates. You can see it all in a clip that’s been making the rounds.
One of the funniest parts? Kyrie Irving’s reaction during the whole thing. Classic Kyrie!
In the end, the Suns got a free throw because the Mavericks had more players ejected. Kevin Durant stepped up and made it. Not a bad deal for the Suns since Washington and Marshall are key players for Dallas.
Marshall didn’t seem too sorry about throwing that punch, judging by his posts online. Nurkić finished the game with just three points, while Washington and Marshall combined for 11. Durant was the star, scoring 35 points.
Even though the Suns outscored the Mavericks after the brawl, they still lost 98-89, leaving them at a 15-15 record.
