It was not a typical Tuesday night for the Golden State Warriors and Minnesota Timberwolves.
Less than two minutes into their game, a kerfuffle unfolded after Jaden McDaniels and Klay Thompson got tangled up at midcourt. Rudy Gobert stepped in to grab Thompson, and then Draymond Green came flying in like a WWE wrestler, putting Gobert into a headlock and dragging him across the court.
Again, this happened at the 10:17 mark in the first quarter, with the score tied 0-0.
It was a truly wild scene that ended with Thompson, Green and McDaniels being ejected.

It’s worth noting that Green and Gobert have a well-documented history of not really liking each other, and a well-documented history of not being afraid to mix it up – even with their own teammates.
Here’s a few other angles (and reactions) to how it all unfolded Tuesday night:
