We had an actual NBA fight — unlike that Lakers-Bucks scuffle — on Tuesday night in Toronto, as the Chicago Bulls and Toronto Raptors got after it.
The two main participants were Bulls center Robin Lopez and Raptors forward Serge Ibaka, and the two big men got into a heated exchange that ended with them throwing punches at each other. Naturally, they were both ejected.
Here’s video of the scene:

Serge Ibaka and Robin Lopez are both ejected for throwing punches. Would expect suspensions are coming for both as well

Of course, Twitter went crazy after the fight.

Serge Ibaka was so mad Paul Zipser dunked on him he just punched the hairy Lopez brother in the face.

Robin Lopez was also involved in this amazing double elbows move earlier in the year:
Lopez' punch on Ibaka wasn't nearly as impressive as the time he dropped two Hornets simultaneously https://t.co/cXAxgeGtuq
