This is how it all started…
What a disgrace! Phillipines should be expelled from basketball. Safety concerns for Australian side. #basketball #fiba #boomers pic.twitter.com/QoC8ujiP4h

I don’t know what led up to that but that Philippines point guard was blatantly throwing elbows to the chin.
Bonus madness: #7 in yellow is Milwaukee Bucks big man Thon Maker. He is on the Australian national team and he was out there trying to throw knees, or kicks, or something… check him out especially at the 1:02 mark of the second video.
The best part is after all that, and NINE Philippines players were ejected and one fouled out, they finished the game playing 5-on-2.
"As it stands, it is 5 against 2 right now." Incredible after nine Philippines players ejected for FIBA World Cup qualifying brawl with Australia. Four Aussies also thrown out. pic.twitter.com/HNlpdre9G0

You’ll have a tough time finding a wilder basketball fight and finish to a game.
