The second-quarter altercation saw both players wrestle to the ground, leading to ejections and potential disciplinary review by the NBA.

Houston Rockets' Steven Adams and Phoenix Suns' Mason Plumlee were ejected in the second quarter after a physical altercation during a rebound battle.
The scuffle escalated into a wrestling match, with both players grappling and falling to the court, leaving Plumlee with a cut above his right eye.
Referee Tony Brothers explained the ejections, citing NBA rules that classify physical altercations as fighting, which mandates automatic ejections.
The Rockets secured a 111-104 victory despite Adams' ejection, with Jalen Green leading the team with 29 points and seven rebounds.
The NBA has not yet announced if additional disciplinary actions will be taken against Adams or Plumlee, leaving their availability for upcoming games uncertain.
