Nuggets-Thunder get into heated scrum after Lu Dort trips Nikola Jokic in wild scene

The NBA got a little spicy in the Thunder’s 127-121 win over the Nuggets on Friday night in Oklahoma City. The two teams got into a heated scrum in the fourth quarter after it appeared Oklahoma City’s Lu Dort tripped Denver star Nikola Jokic, leading to a heated scene at center court with both teams pushing and shoving. Things all started after Jared McCain hit a two-point bucket for OKC, and on the ensuing inbound, Dort appeared to make an intentional step — almost like a hip check — into Jokic as he made his way back up the court.
