Bulls' Robin Lopez, Raptors' Serge Ibaka ejected after trading punches

Several punches were thrown when a shoving match broke out between Chicago Bulls and Toronto Raptors players with 3:58 minutes left in the third quarter of their game Tuesday.

The scuffle appeared to begin when Raptors center Serge Ibaka snatched a rebound away from Bulls center Robin Lopez and Lopez took a swipe at the ball. Ibaka appeared to shove Lopez, and Lopez threw a punch at Ibaka, who retaliated by taking a swing at Lopez.

Ibaka and Lopez continued to go at each other, which led to several other players and assistant coaches getting involved.
