Philly fans at Wells Fargo Center for Saturday’s Wizards-Sixers game attempted to show Isaiah Thomas their version of some “brotherly love,” and it resulted in a bit of an ugly scene late in the contest.
The fans — who were described as being drunk — had apparently been heckling Thomas, and it eventually took a toll on him. Thomas was so upset that he actually entered the stands to confront the fans, which led to an immediate ejection.
