Led by Milwaukee Bucks duo Matthew Dellavedova and Thon Maker, the Australia Boomers picked up a win in their latest FIBA World Cup qualifier on Monday. The Boomers prevailed 83-59 as the game, which will be long remembered for non-basketball reasons, was brought to a close with just under two minutes left in the third quarter.
Instead, the discussion will center around a truly remarkable and ugly brawl that resulted in a total of 13 players being ejected — four Australians and nine Filipinos.
While Dellavedova wasn’t on the floor during the incident, Maker was, and his actions certainly drew plenty of attention in the events that unfolded.
