The main incident occurred with just over seven minutes left in the third quarter. Jalen Duren had the ball in his hands and was driving toward the basket when he was fouled by Moussa Diabate. After the foul, Duren came face-to-face with Diabate, with the two players coming very close to each other, touching heads. The situation escalated when Duren hit Diabate in the face with his right hand.

This action caused a scuffle that lasted more than 30 seconds, involving several players from both teams. Due to the high tension, there was a brief police presence on the field, until order was restored and the match resumed.

The NBA is expected to review the footage and official reports to decide whether additional disciplinary action will be taken.Indeksonline/
