Pacers' Bennedict Mathurin ejected after exchange with Cavs' De'Andre Hunter
The ongoing tension between Indiana Pacers guard Bennedict Mathurin and Cleveland Cavaliers forward De'Andre Hunter boiled over in the first quarter of Game 4.
Both players were seen exchanging words in Game 3, but things got physical on Sunday.
Mathurin was ejected from the game after he was given a Flagrant 2 foul for hitting Hunter with a "closed fist.”
Hunter quickly retaliated by running over and shoving Mathurin, sending him sliding to the floor.
Pacers center Myles Turner was also seen running in late to shove Hunter before members from both teams stepped in to help break things up.
Both Turner and Hunter were also assessed technicals.
Hunter was allowed two free throw attempts, making just one of the two shots. He remained in the game and received boos from the crowd after coming off the bench in the middle of the second quarter.
