Things escalated from there, as both teams engaged in an impromptu scrum. In the ensuing scuffle, Michael Beasley of the Suns attempted to retaliate and threw a punch at Hollins.

When order was restored, both Beasley and Hollins were ejected from the game. Hollins was called for a flagrant foul, while Beasley received a technical. Hollins, as to be expected, received support from the home crowd, including a standing ovation as he left the court.

Dragic was awarded free throws on the flagrant 2. The Clippers had a healthy lead at the time of the incident. It is possible that fines could be on the way for both Hollins and Beasley.
