There can be animosity and tension even in an already folded and unstakes match. The proof last night with the start of a fight between the Sacramento Kings and the Houston Rockets. It all starts with a fault Malik Monk on Garrison Matthews. The latter did not appreciate the attitude of the rear of the Kings and he rushed to stick his forehead against that of his opponent. Many players then got involved, causing a scuffle to begin with a lot of pushes but (fortunately) no real blows exchanged.
Things got chippy between the Rockets and Kings ????

Both Monk and Matthews were sent off by the referees. As Then touch Metu et Tari Eason. The Kings won pretty well, 139-114.
CQFR: The Nuggets pay the Clippers without Jokic, it fights between the Rockets and the Kings
