Minnesota Timberwolves and Detroit Pistons players fumed, exchanging words, jersey tugs and shoves during a second-quarter melee, which led to seven ejections in Minneapolis.

Tempers flared between the Timberwolves and Pistons, which spilled into the crowd as players shoved one another and a camera operator along the baseline got knocked over.

The Wolves were able to grab control of the game not long after the fracas and won 123-104 — a win they desperately needed.
