The Minnesota Timberwolves continued their winning streak with a victory over the San Antonio Spurs, following their previous win against the Denver Nuggets, which had featured a brawl between Rudy Gobert and Christian Braun. Their recent victory featured a similar drama, as tensions flared between Wolves forward Jaden McDaniels and Spurs star Jeremy Sochan.
The brawl occurred in the third quarter, with the Spurs leading 76-62. During a possession for San Antonio, the two players got tangled up under the basket. It all started when Sochan grabbed McDaniels’ jersey after a Chris Paul three-pointer.
Soon, Sochan brought him to the ground, not letting go of McDaniels’ jersey. Once they were back on their feet, tensions flared. McDaniels couldn’t resist his anger, so he appeared to grab Sochan by the collar and got right in his face.
The situation escalated as the two exchanged shoves, leading to a brief scuffle. Referees quickly intervened, issuing technical fouls to both players for their roles in the altercation.
