Last night, on February 4, Magic went on to defeat Timberwolves 127-120 after a big altercation between the teams
The brawl broke out in front of the Orlando bench when Minnesota guard Austin Rivers and Magic center Mo Bamba got into an arguement
Bamba came off the bench and Rivers threw punches at him in a tussle that spilled over to include several others on the court.
The fight appeared to come on out of no where, with no previous signs of any problems. The fight occurred in the late third quarter.
Both Bamba and Rivers were ejected from the game, along with Magic guard Jalen Suggs and Timberwolves forwards Taurean Prince and Jaden McDaniels
“This isn’t like a cool moment for me,” “I feel embarrassed. I’m the oldest on the team. I consider myself the leader of the team, or one of the leaders of the team" Rivers said after the game.
“Their guy came off the bench and threw a punch,” Timberwolves coach Chris Finch said in the post game interview.
Rudy Gobert added 15 points, and Naz Reid scored 10 points off the bench in the final 4:20 but ultimately fell short at end resulting in Orlando's Victory.
