It was a busy Saturday night for NBA watchers. 19 of 20 teams reached 100 points (Suns finished with 91, go figure), Kemba Walker dropped another 39-point gem, and the Rockets and Lakers engaged in an all-out brawl.

Ok from another angle, it looks like CP3 returned the 2 piece https://t.co/pskIF1a0yy

This fight broke out late 4th quarter with the Rockets ahead by just one point, 109-108. Chris Paul, Rajon Rondo and Brandon Ingram all through some sort of punches, resulting in all three being ejected from the game. Here were some of the reactions from NBA players around the league.

I know fighting is never the right way to solve an issue but I don’t think rondo should be severely punished for his reaction. Often times people think the court is a safe place to cross the lines (putting a finger in someone’s face).

If you were in the streets and you put your finger in a man’s face then it could be fatal. We all need to be accountable for our actions

I just don’t get how you don’t respect a punch in the face after you put your fingers in someone’s face!! Like I don’t get it, we league dudes must live in LaLa land lol I’m still in disbelief.

Despite falling to an 0-2 start, Lakers center JaVale McGee still has plenty of optimism for his new team.

Great competitive game today… the passion we play with is so evident! We lost but we growing and getting better and a closer group… I LOVE IT
