Video shows Rajon Rondo spit on Chris Paul before fight

While the NBA works its way through the investigation of the fight between Rockets guard Chris Paul and the Lakers Rajon Rondo and Brandon Ingram, the league has video evidence to support Paul's contention that Rondo spit at him.

The video sent to the NBA and acquired by the Chronicle shows a splatter of saliva from Rondo to Paul's face. Paul's arms were crossed as they began to argue, before what appeared to be spit hit Paul and he pointed at Rondo and pushed his face.

Rondo threw a hard left, the first of punches exchanged. The Lakers' Brandon Ingram followed with several punches from behind.
