A game between the Detroit Pistons and the Utah Jazz nearly erupted into a full-blown brawl, resulting in the ejection of Pistons rookie Ron Holland.
The Utah Jazz game against the Detroit Pistons was a heated affair, nearly resulting in a brawl. The tension began with some heated exchanges between Paul Reed and Jordan Clarkson.
