Hornets Coach Blamed for Expulsion After Brawl in Detroit
In a heated match against top Eastern Conference team, the Charlotte Hornets found themselves entangled in a massive brawl with the Detroit Pistons. The game took an ugly turn when several players from both teams clashed, leading to four player ejections and a coach's expulsion.
Coach Charles Lee was among those tossed from the game for arguing with referees, which further added to the chaos. When asked about his perspective on the altercation, Lee stated that it "spiraled out of control." However, he also took responsibility for his own ejection, claiming that the officials' calls were inconsistent throughout the game.
The Hornets, despite their valiant effort, ultimately lost 110-106, falling short in a close contest. The team's performance was overshadowed by the fight and subsequent player expulsions, which seemed to galvanize the Pistons and secure their victory.
Player ejections came with significant costs. Miles Bridges had only six points, four rebounds, and one assist before being ejected, while Moussa Diabate recorded just six rebounds and no points in his own expulsion. The loss was particularly poignant for Jalen Duren of the Detroit Pistons, who seemed poised to have a standout performance before his ejection.
As the NBA delves into this incident, it is likely that further disciplinary action will be taken against all parties involved. The consequences could extend beyond monetary fines and suspensions, potentially impacting the careers and team chemistry of those directly affected by the altercation.

coach lee seems like he's taking it pretty hard tho 
gotta feel for him, getting tossed from his own game is def not easy to deal with... these player ejections are gonna have some serious consequences 
and whoa Jalen Duren was having that breakout performance before he got kicked out 
hope the Hornets bounce back stronger next time
. I mean, what's wrong with just competing fairly? Coach Charles Lee seems like a good guy who got caught up in the heat of the moment, but still he should've kept his cool 
. Those ejections really hurt the Hornets' chances, and now they're gonna pay for it 
. I hope the NBA looks into this and makes sure everyone knows that's not how it's supposed to go down 
.
. A brawl? Four players ejected? It's crazy! 
. The league needs to take action and make sure these types of incidents don't happen again. It's not just about discipline, but also about player safety 
.
... what do you guys think about all this?
.
. He was supposed to be that breakout star for the Hornets this season 
️. But seriously, safety first in the NBA - these kinds of incidents are just too much 
.
the real question is what's gonna happen next? are we gonna see more suspensions or just fines? hopefully the Hornets can bounce back from this and show everyone what they're really made of
