Timberwolves react after fight with Pistons
The Minnesota Timberwolves beat the Detroit Pistons Sunday night at Target Center after a fight on the court resulted in ejections for Donte DiVincenzo, Naz Reid and Pablo Prigioni.
What happened
The backstory:
The incident started when Ron Holland II fouled Reid with 8:36 left in the second quarter. Reid took exception to the foul, pointing at and confronting Holland, who then pushed DiVincenzo, who shoved him back. The fight eventually spilled over into the first row of courtside seats behind the basket before cooler heads prevailed.
A total of five players and two coaches were ejected after the altercation, including Timberwolves’ assistant Pablo Prigioni.
The schedule
What's next:
Reid and DiVincezo will serve their suspensions Tuesday night against the Nuggets. The Timberwolves are 43-32 and in the No. 7 spot in the Western Conference with seven regular season games left. They’re a half game out of the No. 6 spot, and one game out of the No. 5 spot. The Timberwolves need to finish in the top-six in the West to avoid an NBA Play-in series.
