Tensions flared between Marcus Smart and Trae Young late in the fourth quarter Saturday night, and it ended with Smart being ejected.

Sean Wright, the crew chief at State Farm Arena on Saturday, said in a pool interview that Smart was ejected because he “slams [Young] to the ground,” while Young — who was given a technical foul for pointing in Smart’s face — wasn’t ejected because “his actions did not rise to the level of an ejection.”
Once Young reached the ground, other players and staff members helped separate the scuffle. His foul was then assessed when he pointed at Smart after getting up, and the pair kept turning to look in each other’s direction as they were escorted toward their respective benches.. “Guys mix it up, and I thought our security guys did a good job keeping everything in line.”Marcus Smart was ejected in the fourth quarter after throwing Trae Young toward the ground.
Both teams play next on Monday, with Atlanta hosting the Timberwolves and Boston traveling to Houston.
