Tempers flared as Rockets guard Jalen Green was sent sprawling by a hard foul. Officials reviewed a call on Bulls star DeMar DeRozan, leading to a scuffle between DeRozan and Rockets forward Dillon Brooks. Both were eventually ejected.

DeRozan received a Flagrant Foul penalty 2 for excessive contact but no further penalty for his role in the scuffle. Brooks was ejected for instigating the incident, with coaches and security personnel getting involved.
