On Sunday, a brawl broke out early in the second quarter of the Minnesota Timberwolves‘ 123-104 home win over the Detroit Pistons.
With the Pistons leading 39-29 and 8:36 remaining in the second quarter, Timberwolves center Naz Reid drove to the basket and Pistons rookie forward Ron Holland II fouled him.
Reid and Holland exchanged words after the play. Timberwolves guard Donte DiVincenzo then grabbed Holland’s jersey, and soon all 10 players on the court and multiple coaches and trainers were involved in a melee along the baseline. The fight would spill into the stands.
As officials stopped it, Pistons head coach J.B. Bickerstaff and Timberwolves assistant coach Pablo Prigioni screamed at each other before team personnel separated them.
