It started as what appeared to be a routine foul with 36 seconds left in the third quarter of the Lakers’ 107-103 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks.
Bucks guard Malcolm Brogdon tried to block a layup by Lakers guard Nick Young, but tensions spiraled quickly out of control when Brogdon swiped the side of Young’s head in the process.
Young furiously shoved Brogdon. Then Milwaukee’s Greg Monroe took his own shot at Young. A fracas ensued.
By the end of it, Monroe, Young and D’Angelo Russell had all been ejected from the game with double technical fouls, Young for starting the fight and Monroe and Russell for escalating it.
