Pistons, Hornets Game Descends Into Chaos As Massive Brawl Breaks Out

Monday night’s showdown between the Hornets and Pistons descended into chaos after a wild brawl broke out on the hardwood … resulting it multiple players being ejected, after coaches and officials were finally able to restore peace!

It all went down with 7:09 remaining in the third quarter after Hornets forward Moussa Diabate was fouled by Jalen Duren. The two then went chest-to-chest … before Duren put his hand in Diabate’s face and shoved him away.

Diabate then lunged at the Pistons’ third-year veteran, taking a swing at him as players and coaches tried to restrain him. He eventually broke free and tried to put hands on Duren, but was pushed back toward the baseline.

Footage from the tunnel caught Stewart being escorted back to the locker room, but he didn’t seem remorseful for his actions, telling a Pistons staffer, “You’re not expecting me to stand on the bench.”

Isaiah is no stranger to mid-game scuffles … he was involved in a viral scrap back in 2021 — going after LeBron James after taking an elbow to the face.

Back to Monday night … Pistons head coach J.B. Bickerstaff defended his players for their actions, saying they had a right to protect themselves after Bridges threw the first shot.
