Tuesday night’s NBA playoff game between Phoenix and Dallas almost got out of hand when the Suns’ Bismack Biyombo and Mavericks’ Marquese Chriss were both ejected in the final seconds and then nearly clashed going to the locker rooms.
Chriss appeared to take exception to Biyombo going for a dunk with three seconds left in the game and the Suns up by 30 points. After exchanging words on the court, both were ejected by officials. TV cameras showed security officials going into the tunnel to make sure the players couldn’t get at each other after leaving the court.
Biyombo played 21 solid minutes for the Suns, adding seven points and six rebounds. Chriss — who was drafted No. 8 overall by the Suns in 2016 and spent two seasons with the franchise — had two points and two rebounds.
