Spurs' Zach Collins ejected after hard foul that drew blood on Russell Westbrook

San Antonio Spurs forward Zach Collins was ejected from their 143-138 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday night after he hit Russell Westbrook hard in the head, drawing blood and sparking a brief altercation in the lane at the AT&T Center.

Collins, late in the third quarter of the game, blocked Westbrook at the rim and hit him hard in the head — which sent Westbrook down to the court. Westbrook then immediately jumped up and charged at Collins. Before he could do much, though, LeBron James grabbed Westbrook and held him back.
