Things got a little chippy between the Boston Celtics and Toronto Raptors Friday night, so much so that Isaiah Thomas and DeMarre Carroll drew double technical fouls for a skirmish under the basket late in the second quarter.
As Thomas was bringing the ball up the court during a fast-break opportunity, Carroll shoved Thomas to prevent him from scoring, and that’s where things got ugly. Thomas got up immediately and exchanged words with Carroll before making a finger gun gesture at the Raptors forward.

As if Thomas’ gesture wasn’t bad enough, Carroll was actually shot outside a Missouri nightclub in 2007. Many people on people on Twitter are calling for the NBA to suspend Thomas, but we’ll see what happens.
