It all started at the 4:13 mark of the fourth quarter, and the Lakers leading the Rockets 109-108. An argument ensued between Houston's Chris Paul and LA's Rajon Rondo. The confrontation got ugly very quickly, with punches thrown. Looking at the videos, I see a few similarities to the Philadelphia-Boston battle involving Larry Bird, Julius Erving and Charles Barkley.
Paul, Rondo and Brandon Ingram all picked up technical fouls and were ejected for participation in the melee. Chris' contention is that Rondo was the instigator by spitting in CP3's face.
