Brisbane NBL boss Malcolm Watts has clipped Adelaide's coach and star guard for their post-game comments following claims of "cheap shots" and repeated punches in an ugly scuffle that spilled into the stands. Bullets guard Hunter Maldonado tangled with 36ers big Nick Rakocevic under the rim and the pair fell to the ground and continued to wrestle. Rakocevic was on top of Maldonado when Brisbane guard Terry Taylor arrived to put the Sixers forward in a headlock. 36ers coach Mike Wells was fuming in the post-game press conference, claiming Maldonado was punching his player in the stomach while Taylor clinched him in "dangerous" choke hold. Bullets coach Darryl McDonald denied his players threw punches, instead claiming Rakocevic had sparked the incident by "pile-driving" Maldonado to the floor.
