Dort fouled Denver's Nikola Jokic in the midst of a tight game and Jokic got in Dort's face. A scrum ensued, and Jokic and Oklahoma City's Jaylin Williams were called for offsetting technical fouls. Dort was issued a Flagrant 2 and ejected.
The matchup was physical from the start.
Oklahoma City's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was called for an early technical when he complained to the officials after Jokic made high contact with him and a foul was not called. The Denver bench was called for a technical in the third quarter, and there was plenty of trash talking and shoving throughout.
