‘Clown behavior’: Three ejected as Warriors’ Green puts Gobert in headlock

• Timberwolves come out on top in fiery contest
• Wembanyama v Holmgren Part I underwhelms

When the NBA created the In-Season Tournament as a way to inject playoff-level intensity into regular-season games, the scuffle between the Golden State Warriors and the Minnesota Timberwolves that resulted in three early ejections on Tuesday night may not have been what the league had in mind.

With the game still scoreless and not yet two minutes old, Golden State's Draymond Green was ejected after putting Minnesota's Rudy Gobert in a headlock.
