Afflalo swung a punch in Bjelica's direction in seeming frustration. Bjelica responded by putting Afflalo in a headlock.

Both players were given technical fouls, the second for each, and ejected. The two were T'd up after an earlier skirmish.


Afflalo's punch was the second such incident involving NBA players in a week. The Heat's James Johnson and the Raptors' Serge Ibaka threw hands last week in Toronto. The league suspended both men for a game without pay.

There were also highly publicized incidents yesterday involving the Raptors' Kyle Lowry and the 76ers' Ben Simmons, and the Rockets' Trevor Ariza and Clippers players Blake Griffin and Austin Rivers.
