Tensions flared Sunday night when three players were ejected from a Thunders-Spurs clash. With Oklahoma City leading by six with a little more than three minutes to play in the third quarter, San Antonio forward Jeremy Sochan skied in for a dunk.

It escalated within seconds. Thunder assistant David Akinyooye quickly read the situation and stood up in a defensive stance to prevent any of OKC's bench players from stepping on the court and risking possible suspension. OKC security ran onto the court to stop Shai Gilgeous-Alexander from getting involved to the point they slipped in the mayhem.

The Oklahoma City Thunder beat the San Antonio Spurs 146-132 on Sunday. Jalen Williams scored 41 points and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander added 31 for the Thunder as they won their third straight game.
