Pacers' Clash with Nets Results in Ejections and Technical Fouls
The Pacers faced a heated moment in the fourth quarter against the Nets, leading to multiple technical fouls and ejections.
On Thursday night, tensions escalated in the fourth quarter as the Indiana Pacers clashed with the Brooklyn Nets. This was the second instance within a week where the Pacers found themselves embroiled in conflict on the court. Previously, Andrew Nembhard was ejected during a game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, following an altercation with Rudy Gobert, which also saw Gobert receiving an ejection.
In the latest encounter, after a layup by Benedict Mathurin, Trendon Watford collided with Nembhard. Myles Turner intervened to defend Nembhard, resulting in a brief skirmish that necessitated separation by officials. The aftermath saw Watford ejected while Turner and Nembhard were given technical fouls. Despite the chaos, the Pacers secured a victory over the Nets, winning 105-99.
