Donovan Mitchell on Dillon Brooks: "Quite frankly, I've been busting his ass for years. Playoffs, regular season…it's tough when you can't guard somebody & you got to resort to that & that's what he's done to a lot of players."pic.twitter.com/SBi4sC5nVG

Brooks’s big layup was blocked when the Cavaliers were ahead 81-76, and Mitchell picked up the ball as Brooks fell to the floor. But Brooks rolled over and swung up to hit Mitchell, hitting the 26-year-old who was known as “Spida” in the groyne.
Brooks’s shot below the belt made Mitchell very angry, so he threw the ball at him while they were both on the ground under the basket. At the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Ohio, tensions quickly boiled over, and the two got up and faced each other.

There was a big fight between a lot of players, and coaches and officials rushed to break it up. Both players were thrown out of the game by the head referee, Tony Brothers, for their parts in the fight. Brooks was pinned for a flagrant two foul.
Mitchell’s Cavaliers went on to win 128-113 in a strong final quarter, but most of the talk after the game was about the small fight that happened before it. Mitchell was named a starter for the NBA All-Star game last week, but he was not in a forgiving mood after he was thrown out of the game for throwing the ball at Brooks.
