Suns and Jazz Get Into Big Team Fight After Ricky Rubio Gets Pushed Over

Per ESPN, With Utah leading 69-50 in the third quarter, Rubio was headed full speed on a fast break when Jared Dudley body-blocked him to the floor, starting a scrum in front of the Suns bench. Dudley got a flagrant 2 foul and was ejected, along with Marquese Chriss for pushing Rubio back down after Dudley's shove. Ingles and Mitchell were assessed technical fouls.

"I could understand why Marquese got ejected. That's the only one though," Phoenix coach Jay Triano said. "If you're going to eject anybody else, Ingles ran in to instigate as much as anybody else did. And Mitchell. They were in there escalating rather than diffusing more than anybody. I don't think there was a foul enough to warrant a flagrant 2."

Ingles and Mitchell disagreed, saying they just backing up their point guard.

"There is a camaraderie and a sense of brotherhood and they defend each other," Utah coach Quin Snyder said of his team.
