OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) --- Tempers flared in the fourth quarter of Oklahoma City's
127-121 overtime victory over the Denver Nuggets on Friday night and resulted
in the ejection of the Thunder's Lu Dort.
Dort fouled Denver's Nikola Jokic in the midst of a tight game and Jokic got in
Dort's face. A scrum ensued and Jokic and Oklahoma City's Jaylin Williams were
called for offsetting technical fouls. Dort was issued a Flagrant 2 and ejected.
The matchup was physical from the start.
Oklahoma City's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was called for an early technical when
he threw the ball at Jokic, who made high contact with him after play had
stopped. Denver's bench was called for a technical in the third quarter, and
there was plenty of trash talking and shoving throughout.
