Fight Night At The Staple Center
A brawl broke out in the fourth quarter during the Houston Rockets and Los Angeles Lakers game at the Staples Center on Friday night.
Houston Rockets’ guard Chris Paul and Los Angeles Lakers’ guard Rajon Rondo would exchange punches after the two engaged in a heated confrontation with Paul sticking his fingers in Rajon Rondo’s face.

It’s not the first time Chris Paul and Rajon Rondo have been at odds with each other as the two had a postgame altercation back when Paul was a Hornet and Rondo was a Celtic.
At a dead ball stop after James Harden drew a foul while driving to the rim, tensions would quickly boil over at the 4:13 mark of the fourth quarter.
Brandon Ingram, frustrated by the foul call, would shove James Harden out of the way which drew a technical foul.
All three players were ejected from the game and will likely face suspensions for their roles.
