A massive brawl broke out between the Charlotte Hornets<\/a> and Detroit Pistons on Monday night, leading to four ejections in a wild third-quarter scene.<\/p>\n

Hornets players Moussa Diabate and Miles Bridges, as well as Pistons\u2019 Jalen Duren<\/a> and Isaiah Stewart, were all ejected from the game.<\/p>\n

The incident began when Duren was backing down Diabate in the paint, and the latter fouled the former with around seven minutes to play in the third quarter. But the two immediately got in each other\u2019s face, with Diabate pressing his head against Duren, which set everything off.<\/p>\n

Duren shoved Diabate\u2019s face, and despite people on both sides trying to alleviate the tension, the usually mild-mannered Diabate kept trying to find Duren again.<\/p>\n

Pistons veteran Tobias Harris was holding back Diabate, when the latter threw a punch at Duren, escalating the whole situation. As Duren walked away, Bridges got involved, throwing his own left-handed punch at Duren. The Pistons forward retaliated with his own punch.<\/p>\n

Then, with many on the court at this point, Stewart came rushing off the Pistons\u2019 bench to confront Bridges, throwing a punch as their altercation became the focal point of the madness on the hardwood.<\/p>\n

The tense scene finally dissipated, but the ejections didn\u2019t stop after that. In the fourth quarter, Hornets coach Charles Lee was tossed from the game and needed to be held back after screaming at officials following a no-call when his player, Grant Williams, collided with Pistons\u2019 Paul Reed.<\/p>\n

The Pistons ended up winning the game, 110-104, to add to their Eastern Conference-best 39-13 record. The Hornets fell to 25-29, which sits them 10th in the conference.<\/p>\n

Ejections in the NBA<\/a> usually lead to discipline, so it will be interesting to see what the league office determines is proper punishment for this heated moment on Monday night.<\/p>\n
