Two star players were ejected from the court after a brawl at Thursday night's game between the Chicago Bulls and the Houston Rockets at the Toyota Center in Houston.
An on-court scuffle during the Chicago Bulls-Houston Rockets game on Thursday night involving multiple players resulted in star players DeMar DeRozan and Dillon Brooks both being ejected. Houston ultimately won the game, 127-117. The clash took place in the third quarter, with 6:02 remaining and the Rockets leading 84-75. As Houston's Jalen Green was carrying the ball up the court, Chicago's DeRozan came off a screen and hip-checked him, sending Green to the court in evident agony.
DeRozan was assessed a flagrant foul penalty 2 because the contact was excessive and unnecessary,' Blair said. 'Because Brooks escalated the situation, therefore he was given a technical foul and ejected.' The Associated Press contributed to this report.
