Tempers are flaring between the Utah Jazz and Phoenix Suns.

In the third quarter of Thursday's tilt, Marquese Chriss fell to the ground after air-balling a dunk attempt. Jared Dudley responded with a hard foul on Ricky Rubio, who was then bulldozed to the ground by Criss.

Here's another look at the hits on Rubio:

Joe Ingles went after Chriss in defense of his point guard, and a huge kerfuffle broke out on the court with players, coaches, and refs trying to quell the situation.

Even Utah's mascot, Jazz Bear, looked ready to join the battle in Rubio's honor:

Chriss and Dudley were ejected from the contest, while Ingles and Donovan Mitchell were doled technical fouls.
