VIDEO: Kevin Seraphin crushes Jimmy Butler with hard screen

This has been anything but your typical preseason game.

Usually exhibition contests, especially preseason openers, are about teams shaking off their summer rust and trying to get through the game injury-free. 

So much for that.

The Chicago Bulls and Washington Wizards are playing with playoff-like intensity Monday, which perhaps shouldn't be surprising considering they met in the first round five months ago.

First Joakim Noah and Paul Pierce got into a shoving head-poking match after Pierce hit Jimmy Butler with a hard foul. Then Noah celebrated a Butler block on Bradley Beal like it was a mid-season, game-winning play.

And now this. Kevin Seraphin added to the madness with a bone-crushing, illegal (moving) screen on Butler, before boldly standing over the Bulls swingman.

As you can imagine, Butler and the Bulls didn't take it very well.

Circle your calendars, the first regular-season meeting between these two teams is Dec. 23 in Washington.
