Overview
- The third-quarter melee began with 7:09 remaining after Hornets forward Moussa Diabate fouled Pistons center Jalen Duren, who then shoved Diabate, triggering a multi-scrum confrontation.
- Miles Bridges charged at Duren and threw a punch as Isaiah Stewart left the Pistons bench to engage Bridges, actions that escalated the fracas across the court.
- After video review, Jalen Duren and Isaiah Stewart of Detroit and Moussa Diabate and Miles Bridges of Charlotte were assessed fighting fouls and ejected, crew chief John Goble said.
- Detroit closed out a 110-104 road win to snap Charlotte’s nine-game streak, and Hornets head coach Charles Lee was later ejected in the fourth quarter for disputing a call.
- League discipline is being evaluated, with bench-leaving violations carrying automatic penalties and prior histories, including Stewart’s, likely to factor into any supplemental sanctions.
