Rockets' Kevin Porter leaves arena after reportedly having to be restrained from going after coaches

After giving up 47 points in a dismal second quarter against the Denver Nuggets on Saturday, the Rockets had a big enough locker room spat that Kevin Porter Jr., left the Toyota Center in the middle of the game and Christian Wood - at least according to one report - said he didn't want to play in the second half.

According to multiple reports, Porter became irate at halftime of the Rockets' 124-111 loss when assistant coach John Lucas challenged him. The Rockets, who were outscored 47-24 in the second quarter and trailed 77-55 at halftime, spent nearly the entire intermission in the locker room and didn't return to the court until moments before the second half started.
