Tense Jazz-Bulls battle turns into pure chaos with late-game scuffle
NY Post
The score was tight at Delta Center on Wednesday night — and then tensions ran high.
With the Bulls leading the Jazz by one point and just over nine seconds left on the clock in the fourth quarter, the teams got into a heated scuffle, with Utah’s John Collins and Chicago assistant coach Chris Fleming in the middle of things.
Things started innocuous enough as the Bulls inbounded the ball to DeMar DeRozan, who was then immediately fouled along the sideline by Collin Sexton.
But that’s when the proceedings started to get chippy, as the Bulls’ Torrey Craig — who was not playing in the game — seemingly took exception to the way the Sexton hit DeRozan in the face as he went for the intentional foul.
Fleming then stepped as the two teams converged near the Bulls’ bench and appeared to try to keep Collins from coming closer.
But then Collins shoved Fleming up high, and both teams started going at each other before they were both separated.
Silent most of the game, Mikal Bridges required just one play to make himself heard.
