VIDEO: Hansbrough, Ezeli ejected during Warriors' landslide victory over Raptors

With the Golden State Warriors nearly doubling the Toronto Raptors on Friday, things got a bit chippy.

Toronto was down 41 points when forward Tyler Hansbrough found himself tangled up under the basket with Warriors center Festus Ezeli, sparking a little bit of a skirmish.

Both Hansbrough and Ezeli were ejected.

The incident capped off a night of sheer frustration for the Raptors, who struggled to generate much of anything. The Raptors set a franchise low for shooting percentage in a quarter after finishing the first just 1-for-19.

From there, the Warriors proceeded to extend their lead to comical proportions.

The win came on the heels of a brief lull for Golden State, which had lost two of its last three games prior to Friday's contest. 

Meanwhile for the Raptors, the loss was their fourth straight. The game was the culmination of a number of negative trends for Toronto, including poor perimeter defense and ice-cold outside shooting.
