Everybody in the NBA world loves a good-ole fashion fight. Anytime they happen, they trend all over social media. It happened once again in a matchup of teams with near-symmetrical records.

The Oklahoma City Thunder had an eventful 132-111 win over the Washington Wizards. The first half ended with some fireworks as a quartet of players were kicked out for the rest of the day.

Jaylin Williams and Justin Champagnie went face-to-face on a mundane inbounds pass. Both teams eventually needed to be separated. Before that happened, though, Ajay Mitchell was involved in the heart of the altercation.

Champagnie hit Mitchell in the face. The 23-year-old got heated over it. Before he could do anything wild, though, Anthony Gill jammed him into a deck of chairs. Once both sides were cleared, the referees took around 10 minutes to hand out some punishments.

Williams and Champagnie were hit with double technical fouls. They were both ejected. Mitchell and Cason Wallace also joined them in the locker rooms. The referees eventually said it was because they escalated things. At the end, the Thunder lost three rotation players while the Wizards only lost one.
