Things got a bit heated toward the end of the Brooklyn Nets-Atlanta Hawks game. It didn’t get to swinging punches and clearing benches level but there was a shove or two and some words were exchanged between Kevin Durant and Trae Young.
It’s unknown what was said but after a bit of physicality, Durant shoved Young from behind. That seemed to be the catalyst because Young quickly turned around and the two of them went at it as both of them appeared to laugh it off after they were separated. Durant received a personal foul while both players received technicals as the Nets won 113-105.

The two hugged it out after the game so it appears everything is good but social media had something to say about the initial scuffle.
