From last night: An offensive foul led to a physical altercation between Naji Marshall, PJ Washington & Jusuf Nurkic.
The theme of “protecting teammates” dominated the #Mavs’ postgame reaction to the scuffle.

Oh damn. Naji Marshall and Jusuf Nurkic got into a fight, looked like a punch was thrown. Nurk got knocked down in the scuffle. Looked like it started with Marshall saying something to Nurk and him doubling back – 10:30 PM
