NBA players in heated confrontation
Watching a fight between NBA players is nothing like witnessing a State of Origin brawl but it’s still worth a watch.
The Wizards' John Wall and the Celtics' Jay Crowder got into it after Washington’s road loss to Boston 117-108.
The on-court scene unfolded postgame when Crowder started exchanging words with the Wizards’ point guard.

As they come together, both players get into each other’s face with teammates and team officials surrounding them in case it escalated.
And escalate it did.
Crowder pokes his finger into the nose of Wall who retaliates by swinging at his opponent with an open hand before teammates pull them apart.
Some minor scuffling took place before both teams left the court with extra security placed outside the locker rooms.
