Near the end of a physical second quarter in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals, Nuggets’ C Nikola Jokic got into a physical altercation with Suns’ owner Mat Ishbia.
Jokic went flying into the stands and appeared to rip the ball out of Ishbia’s hands. This was then followed by a slight shove which Ishbia sold like a true NBA star.
In return, Jokic was rewarded with a technical foul, which Kevin Durant cashed in on. Additionally, the crowd responded with a constant wave of boos to conclude the first half of action.
