Trayce Jackson-Davis pushed Alperen Sengun during a skirmish between their teams in Game 5 of their Western Conference first-round playoff series on Wednesday night.
The Houston Rockets beat the Golden State Warriors at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas, to extend the series to a sixth game (the Warriors lead 3-2). There was a skirmish in the fourth quarter after Warriors head coach Steve Kerr pulled his starters from the game. Pat Spencer was ejected after headbutting Sengun.
Spencer’s teammate, Jackson-Davis, also came over and gave Sengun a big shove during the situation.

While Spencer was ejected for the move, Jackson-Davis and Sengun both received technical fouls.
Sengun finished with 15 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists in the game. Jackson-Davis had 4 points in 12 minutes.
Game 6 of the series will be on Friday at Golden State, and we can expect just as many fireworks.
