4 players tossed in brawl between Pistons-Hornets

Jalen Duren, Miles Bridges, Moussa Diabate, and Isaiah Stewart were ejected midway through the third quarter of Monday's contest between the Detroit Pistons and Charlotte Hornets.

Duren and Diabate went head-to-head after the latter committed a foul, which sparked a massive brawl between both sides.

Duren appeared to make contact to the face of Diabate, who then took a swing at the Pistons' All-Star center.

Bridges immediately came to the defense of Diabate, shoving Duren away from his teammate.

Tobias Harris tried to descalate the situation, but Diabate still managed to throw a punch towards Duren as he was being held back by the Pistons veteran.

Diabate managed to break free shortly later but was separated by multiple coaches and teammates as he charged at Duren.

Bridges then had words for Duren and attempted to connect with a punch of his own.

The Hornets forward's actions prompted Stewart to rush in off the bench.

Bridges and Stewart exchanged punches as well before they were broken up by players and coaches.

The ejections didn't end there, as Charlotte head coach Charles Lee was tossed in the fourth quarter for arguing a foul call with an official.

Lee had to be restrained by Brandon Miller, who escorted his head coach into the tunnel before the situation escalated any further.

The East-leading Pistons eventually prevailed 110-104 to end the Hornets' nine-game win streak.
