The great Lonzo Ball summed up NBA altercations quite well after walking away from an incident earlier this season: “People ain’t really gonna fight.”
NBA players, of course, will do everything else — go forehead-to-forehead, puff out their chests, talk trash — but when it comes to throwing hands, only Robin Lopez and Serge Ibaka are about that life. Quincy Acy and Andre Drummond? Yeah, those guys showed they are “Hold-me-back” types after scuffling Sunday.

The NBA fake fight checklist:
- Forehead to forehead? Check!
- Weak shove while the ref separates them? Check!
- WWE-style bullrush? Check!
All of that drama and only one person gets hit — the damn referee.

Both Acy and Drummond were ejected for wasting everyone’s time.
Acy says he overreacted to an alleged elbow by Drummond:
Quincy Acy said he felt Drummond threw an elbow at him and he overreacted. #nets

Acy admitted "that's not how I'm supposed to act." As far as making contact with the ref, he implied it was accidental and said "there were a lot of people around." #nets
