Some of the Timberwolves’ key players, including Naz Reid and Donte DiVincenzo, and assistant coach Pablo Prigioni were ejected in the second quarter along with the Pistons’ Ron Holland II, Marcus Sasser, Isaiah Stewart and the head coach JB Bickerstaff, according to Sports Illustrated.

More than 10 players, coaches and staff members were on the court

“Obviously things went too far,” Bickerstaff said in a statement obtained by The Associated Press. “But what you see is guys looking out for one another, guys trying to protect one another, guys trying to have each other’s backs. … Those are non-negotiables in our locker room.”

The fight began with 8:36 left in the first half, with the Pistons leading 39-30 at the Target Center. Stewart received a technical foul minutes earlier after bumping DiVincenzo hard after the whistle, per AP. Holland was also called for a foul after slapping the ball out of Reid’s hands near the baseline.
