Transcript

Alright. Here we go. So before the ball gets inbounded, three things happen. Jalen Duran puts his hand up. Best D'Aubate swipes it away. Duran shoves him. Fast forward, Duran going to worse. D'Aubate with the foul. Oh, yeah? Boy. What? Back your head up. Immediately after the hand of the face, Miles bridges into the chest of Durin followed by a swing from D'Abate. Durin pretty much immediately walks away, like, whatever, man. However, D'Abate, not done. He throws down one coach, another one bites the dust, Musa making his way to Durin, and he takes a swipe at him. Durin with a clean side step avoids the contact. You want more? I'd stop. You won't make it back. Konkanipo and company doing their best to carry D'Abate away. Meanwhile, Miles Bridges single coverage on the outside. He beats his man off the line, takes a swing at Duran. He swings back. Take that. You take that. Uh-oh. Isaiah Stewart has entered the chat. Beef stew with the stutter step. Bridges goes under, goes for the takedown. It doesn't work. Beef stew. Tier grabs a fistful of Bridges hair. Look at the growth. Well, so much for that. This fan in orange telling Mark Lindsey, hey, man. I think there might be something going on over there. Oh, oh, man. Alright. Everybody, everybody stay calm. Everybody, stay calm.
