Chaos Erupts in Nuggets-Warriors Clash: Jokic Rests as Brawl Breaks Out! /VIDEO/
The incident unfolded early in the second quarter, with the Serbian center off the court. The skirmish began under the basket when Krayer shoved Tim Hardaway. Jamal Murray immediately retaliated, pushing Krayer back, which ignited a chain reaction.
Soon after, Draymond Green and Zeke Nnaji became entangled, and the situation escalated further when De'Anthony Melton grappled with his opponent. All ten players on the court joined the melee, forcing referees and staff to intervene and separate the warring teams.
Tensions only subsided after Gary Payton II snatched the headband off Zeke Nnaji. For their involvement in the incident, De'Anthony Melton and Gary Payton II were assessed technical fouls.
Despite the chaos, the game continued, with the Denver Nuggets ultimately securing their sixth consecutive victory. This triumph, largely attributed to Nikola Jokic's dominant performance during his time on the floor, keeps Denver in pursuit of the Los Angeles Lakers and the third spot in the Western Conference standings.
