Director Jeff Evers. 90 seconds to go in the half. Brown gets into deep and kicks it out. Brown penetrates, hangs, can't finish, but he'll go to the line. And now underneath we get pushing and shoving. EMBIID AND TULU SMITH GETS TANGLED UP. And Embiid still fired up. wants a piece of him, but with all the bodies on the floor, coaches, players, that ain't going to happen. And Bead getting booed right now from the Piston fans as we take a look at what happened. And bead gets the little elbow to the chest of Smith who then slaps at the ball. And then be and him start pushing each other
I hear Embiid. I'm not sure what the other one is. Oh, I hear it. We're not going to repeat and beat said, "Okay, that's all right. I can take it." All the players on the bench has, by the way, stayed on the bench. So, right now, the officials will go to the monitor to see what should be called here. It's going to be a personal on Smith regardless. And Jaylen Brown at the line shooting two. See, now this is the piece, right? Because it doesn't deescalate. I know it feels like a whole lot of nothing and I agree, but that word it doesn't deescalate quickly, it escalated. So, are there technicals on
both sides here? Offsetting technicals? I wonder right now, Shaq and Kenny and Charles, as they watch the little semi push to the forearm, what they're thinking right now. Oh my gosh. because not trying to encourage more but like you know those guys they didn't play that way like that a little Embiid is encouraging the Detroit crowd to give him the business over there well that's only going to I don't think it's going to diffuse it probably just going to make it louder I mean there wasn't a whole lot there again slight touching push ing and then when everybody separated both guys got really upset.
This is an extraordinarily long first half with all of the various stoppages. I was mentioning about you know Charles I think something happened here in Detroit back in 1990. Not touching that one in the game. Think there was a big fight here in 1990. Piston Sixers had some great battles. Awfully physical back then as again you got the personal and you got a little pushing after and a lot of talking. Jaylen Duran likes to see the young big to Smith getting tangled up. This has taken a very long time which seems like a pretty easy decision. Either nothing or double technical move.
Double technical. Exactly. And the double tech is like the go-to now when you have something like that. But I think we'd all be fine with just play on as well. Upon review, this hostile act has been reviewed and has been determined that after the file was assessed, Embiid initiates this altercation with an elbow to the chest of Smith, he will be assessed a technical foul. Anybody in the game at the time of the foul for Detroit may shoot the one free throw and then we'll return for two free throws for Jaylen Brown in playoff event. So actually surprised that they went to that and then decided that there should not be a
technical on Smith. Well to me the objection from Embiid was he felt like he got a forearm shiver in the back. So, it'll be Cunningham at the line shooting one.
