The young Detroit Pistons took on the Brooklyn Nets tonight in their second battle of the season. After losing the game on the road earlier this month, the Pistons hosted the Nets tonight, hoping to change fortunes. Not only did fans witness a closely contested game but also watched a fight towards the end.
With three minutes left on the clock, the Nets were only up by two points. As Pistons’ Cory Joseph hit a three, young center, Isaiah Stewart was trying to box out to grab the miss. But during the play, Nets’ Blake Griffin wrapped his arm around Stewart to keep him at bay. The Pistons big man was not a fan of this dirty play and unsuccessfully tried to fling Griffin to the ground.

Griffin barely moved initially, but then tripped over Stewart’s leg and was on the ground. Stewart then proceeded to stand right over his the six-time All-Star. Despite being teammates last season for a brief period, the duo went at each other. Both of them received double personal fouls and Stewart was also handed a Double Technical.

After Griffin successfully kept out Stewart from grabbing the offensive board, the Pistons player elbowed the Nets veteran. It looked like he was frustrated because of the missed rebound, and Griffin had to pay with an elbow to the face. It ended with Griffin receiving a technical foul while Stewart got a flagrant-2 and automatic ejection.
