Midway through the third quarter, Diabete fouled Duren to send him to the free-throw line. The two quickly went head-to-head before the Pistons big man shoved the Hornets center in the face.
Diabate did not take kindly to it and quickly went after Durent, with several people trying to avoid an all-out brawl. Bridges entered the fray and pushed Duren as more players and staff spilled onto the court in a try to calm the circumstance.
Diabate ran after Duren and threw punches before security could do something.
Bridges later went after Duren at half court, throwing a punch, which prompted Stewart to come off the bench. The two then fought at center court leading to even more people getting involved to try to stop Beef Stew.
After things got settled, the officials removed Jalen Duren, Isaiah Stewart, Miles Bridges and Mousa Diabate. The game restarted with Paul Reed going to the free-throw line, since Duren was in the act of shooting when Diabate committed the first foul that started the brawl.
