Marquese Chriss may be a rookie, but he’s not intimidated by other big men in the league—not even Kristaps Porzingis.

We found this out on Tuesday night, when the Suns and Knicks squared off. In the third quarter of the game, Porzingis appeared to get away with a foul while Chriss was attempting a jump shot, which he missed. Chriss would get his revenge soon after, though.

The two made their way up the court just a few seconds later and got tangled up. Chriss then grabbed Porzingis and threw him to the floor. A shoving match broke out, but was broken up soon after.

Chriss was hit with a flagrant-1 foul, while Porzingis earned a technical.
