The Dallas Mavericks were already having a rough night in Los Angeles on Thursday night before a minor rumble broke out in the fourth quarter. Jason Terry couldn't hit the broad side of a barn, Dallas was down 20 to the Lakers and frustrations were reaching a boiling point when Terry shoved Lakers guard Steve Blake to the ground after a foul. Predictably, a minor rumble broke out, which more closely resembled a Major League Baseball shoving match than a UFC fight.
VIDEO: Lakers, Mavericks ‘Fight’ As Matt Barnes, Jason Terry, Others Go At It
Everything was all fine and dandy after the shove -- Terry and Blake were jawing, but nothing more -- until Matt Barnes entered stage left. The rest of the show can be seen in the video below (via Blazers Edge)
After the jump, video of Barnes taking his frustrations out on Mavs assistant Terry Stotts.
It’s reasonable to conclude Barnes just hates everyone with Terry in their name.
Barnes, Terry, Blake and Brendan Haywood were ejected. Frustrations continued to get the best of players later in the fourth quarter as Shannon Brown joined those four in the locker room for shoving Brian Cardinal after a hard foul on Pau Gasol.
The Lakers went on to easily win the game, 110-82.
