Fans Dragged Serge Ibaka and Robin Lopez for Fighting Last Night and Not Connecting on a Single Punch
Last night's regular-season match-up between the Chicago Bulls and Toronto Raptors inexplicably erupted into a fight between their respective centers, Robin Lopez and Serge Ibaka.
While lobbying for position for a rebound with 3:58 remaining in the third quarter of the Raptors' eventual 122-120 overtime win, Ibaka elbowed Lopez in the back, sparking the scrap between the big men.
Both Lopez and Ibaka threw punches at each other, but wildly missed, giving NBA fans all the footage they needed to drag the centers for their poor accuracy.
Here's the fight clip followed by fans' hilarious takes on their failure of a scrap. Despite the fact that no punches were landed, it's safe to say that both Lopez and Ibaka can expect suspensions handed down by the league. Double fail!
Well, that escalated quickly
Punches thrown, zero connected ... and Twitter had a field day with it.
