Greg Monroe-Jonas Valanciunas shoving match sparks fire in Bucks-Raptors series

That escalated quickly.

Shortly after Greg Monroe and Jonas Valanciunas were tangled up on one end of the court, they began a shoving match on the other during Game 5 of the Toronto Raptors vs. Milwaukee Bucks series.

On one end, Valanciunas flipped Monroe over fighting for a rebound.

Monroe would get his revenge though.

Khris Middleton fouled Valanciunas hard on the next play as he went to score, ripping him by the arm.

Monroe quickly intervened, first shoving his teammate and then Valanciunas.

That did nothing but fire Valanciunas up, with the Raptors ahead by double-digits in the third quarter.

Both players were assessed technical fouls, and will compete on in a series that is closer than most expected it would be.
