Philadelphia guard Jimmy Butler and Brooklyn forward Jared Dudley were ejected Saturday during the third quarter of Game 4 between the 76ers and Nets after a skirmish spilled into the stands.

Dudley took exception with 76ers center Joel Embiid’s hard foul on Jarrett Allen with 7:42 left in the third and proceeded to push Embiid. From there, numerous players on both teams became involved in a scuffle underneath the basket that caused fans to scurry from their seats.

Philadelphia’s Ben Simmons got mixed up with Dudley as well during the ruckus.

After a long video review by the officiating crew, Butler and Dudley were given technical fouls and left the game while Embiid was given a flagrant 1 foul.

The Sixers went on to win 112-108 to take a 3-1 series lead with Game 5 looming on Tuesday in Philadelphia.
