NBA Clash: Mason Plumlee and Steven Adams Ejected After Heated On-Court Altercation

Tensions Flare in Suns vs. Rockets Matchup

In a dramatic showdown between the Phoenix Suns and Houston Rockets, a heated altercation between Mason Plumlee and Steven Adams resulted in both players being ejected from the game. The incident occurred late in the second quarter when the two centers became entangled while fighting for a rebound, leading to a physical scuffle that saw them wrestling each other to the ground.

Officials quickly intervened, assessing double technical fouls and ejecting both players. Plumlee, who sustained a cut above his eyebrow, downplayed the altercation, stating:
“We just got tied up. He had been going to the boards and doing what he does, so I just met him with physicality.”

Despite the high emotions, the Houston Rockets managed to stay focused and secured a 111-104 victory over the Suns.
