The end result was three quick ejections and, because the Mavericks' ejectees outnumbered the Suns, a free throw for the Suns, which was made by Kevin Durant. It wasn't a bad trade from the Suns' perspective, as Washington and Marshall are both starters and among Dallas' most important defenders.

The Suns-Mavs matchups have been contentious for a number of years now - so it isn't entirely shocking that something happened in matchup three of four between the teams this season, but any instance of punches being thrown will be magnified.
