But a dust-up between the Detroit Pistons and Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday quickly escalated and spilled into the stands, resulting in the ejection of seven players and coaches.  The incident took place with 8:36 left in the second quarter after Detroit's Ron Holland fouled Minnesota's Naz Reid as Reid attempted a layup.

The fight broke out after Timberwolves' Naz Reid and Pistons' Ron Holland exchanged words, leading to a scrapping between almost everyone on the court. Holland, Isaiah Stewart, Marcus Sasser and head coach J.B. Bickerstaff were ejected on Detroit's side while Reid, Dante Divincenzo and assistant Pablo Prigioni from the Wolves were tossed.

Keith Langlois: FINAL: Pistons 136, Pelicans 130 The Ron Holland game. He finishes with 26 (ties high), 5 boards, 6 assists (season high by 3), 2 steals. Marcus Sasser 20 more off bench. Good win on a day the Pistons were without Cunningham, Hardaway, Ivey and a day when the Pelicans hit 20 of 40 from 3. -via Bluesky / March 23, 2025
