Seven ejected after brawl in Pistons-Timberwolves

Five players and two coaches were ejected following a brawl during the Minnesota Timberwolves' 123-104 victory against the Detroit Pistons on Sunday.

The highly charged contest in Minneapolis broke into a physical altercation early in the second quarter, when Minnesota's Naz Reid reacted to being bumped by Detroit's Ron Holland during a dribble.

As the two players squared up to one another, members of both teams got involved and the exchange quickly descended into a melee which spilled into the spectator seats at courtside.

Team officials attempted to break up the players, as some spectators deserted their seats.
