An NBA game in Paris got chippy Thursday afternoon between the Brooklyn Nets and Cleveland Cavaliers.

Tensions rose to a point Cleveland big man Tristan Thompson was ejected after delivering a bump that knocked Nic Claxton to the floor.

After slamming down a dunk, the Nets center chirped at Thompson while running back to play defense.

The two crossed paths, Thompson bumped Claxton hard and Claxton fell to the court.

The two had to be separated, and coaches and some players left their benches to break up the altercation.

Thompson was ejected and finished the game with just one point in 11 minutes.
