Things are getting tetchy
It’s game four of the NBA play-offs tonight between the Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers, and it’s all getting a bit too much for some players.
Man mountain Kendrick Perkins decided the best way to prevent his side for conceding scores to the Celtics’ Jae Crowder was to knock the Boston player off his feet with a good old fashioned push to the chest.
We would expect a bit more backbone from Crowder but Perkins is a massive massive man.
Not content with pushing him over, the Cleveland man then decided to take a swipe at his opponent after he came back for seconds.
Officials intervened with both men getting away with technical fouls.

Perkins may have got away with his swipe at Crowder, but JR Smith didn’t as he was ejected for a flagrant 2 foul on Crowder.
The Celtics man went off with a knee sprain but we reckon he was probably just sick of the Cleveland bullies picking on him:
The Cavs who are 3-0 for the series lead 87-75 in tonight’s game
