absolute batshit crazy.
I gotta read this to you.
In the final five minutes of game two, Big Sixers win, Philadelphia's Daryl Dawkins and Portland's Bob Gross both went up for a rebound and they wrestled each other to the floor.
The two then, and you gotta seek out the clip, they literally square up with each other.
Straight square up.
Both benches clear, including the coaches.
And then in the middle of this squaring up and fracas, Maurice Lucas, I guess in an act of team unity, he comes over and slaps Daryl Dawkins from behind.
Challenges him.
He's like, don't mess with Bob Gross.
Don't mess with Bob Gross.
So they sort of get into it.
They're ejected.
Doug Collins gets four stitches after he caught a punch from Dawkins.
I mean, it's just a melee situation.
Dawkins and Lucas got fined.
But the brawl is seen as the turning point in the series because Portland took offense to it.
They're down 2-0.
This was the end of game two.
And they're like, we're not going to get punked.
We're not going to get humiliated like this.
