Magic's Arron Afflalo, Timberwolves' Nemanja Bjelica Ejected After Fight

Nemanja Bjelcia and Aaron Afflalo got tangled up in the opening minutes of Tuesday’s game vs. the Magic in Orlando, resulting in a double technical.

The skirmish went down with 7:28 remaining in the second quarter of the contest at the Amway Center in Orlando. In the video, it is clear the two had made plenty of contact on the shot attempt from shooting guard Jamal Crawford.

While it appeared that Afflalo threw the first punch - a pretty solid hook - both he and Bjelica were ejected right away. The 6-foot-10, 230-pound Serbian then put the 6-foot-5, 210-pound guard in a headlock, before the two were separated by teammates and the officials.
