Things got a little heated during the Bulls game in Toronto against the Raptors on Tuesday night. After a Bulls bucket, Robin Lopez and Serge Ibaka got tangled underneath the basket. The two big men appeared to exchange some hard elbows. Lopez took exception to Ibaka shoving him in the back, so the Bulls center made a quick 180 to confront him while swiping the ball that was lodged in Ibaka’s hand.
From there, chaos ensued. Lopez and Ibaka both throw punches as their teammates all form a massive pile of shoving bodies.

Lopez and Ibaka were both ejected from the game. They can expect hefty fines and possibly suspensions in the coming days.
The Bulls, meanwhile, are trying to extend their winning streak against Toronto to 12 games while they fight to stay in the Eastern Conference playoff race.
