A heated moment unfolded during the Oklahoma City Thunder's convincing 146-132 victory against the San Antonio Spurs, leading to multiple ejections after a physical confrontation. The incident began when Spurs forward Julian Champagnie swung his elbows to create space, inadvertently making contact with Thunder's Kenrich Williams. Williams responded, resulting in a chest-to-chest confrontation that escalated into a larger scuffle involving teammates from both sides.

Fortunately, no punches were thrown and all players emerged unscathed. Officials reviewed the incident, resulting in technical fouls and ejections for Williams, Champagnie, and Luguentz Dort, while Jeremy Sochan received a technical but remained in the game. The NBA's efforts to maintain control and prevent escalations in these situations are evident as they impose strict penalties for even minor altercations during the long season.
