Considering it is NBA rivalry week, it was only fitting that the Suns and Mavericks had some heated moments in the 1st quarter of their matchup.
It started when Grant Williams stood over Kevin Durant for a couple of seconds. Obviously not a fan of what Williams was doing, Jusuf Nurkic jumped to his teammates defense and gave Williams a quick shove.
The exchange did not end there, as Williams retaliated with a shoulder nudge, sparking a verbal altercation between the two teams.
KD, Nurkic and Grant Williams were all given techs for this altercation.
