- Updated: March 11, 2019
Fireworks erupted at the end of the third quarter of Monday night’s game between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Toronto Raptors when Cavs forward Marquese Chriss and Raptors big man Serge Ibaka got into an on-court brawl.
It started with Ibaka putting his hands around Chriss’ throat and culminated in the two exchanging punches before being thrown out of the game.
It wasn’t long before fans took to Twitter to express their feelings towards the fight.

Serge Ibaka is the only person in the Toronto sports scene to show any fight tonight.

It’s clear that fans enjoyed the rare physical altercation in Monday’s game.
What was lost in the scrum was that the Cavs held up to win the game in a dominant fashion, 126-101.
The Cavs have now won six of their last 11 games and are clearly going to finish the 2018-19 campaign in a much stronger fashion than how they started it.
