Friday night's NBA game between the Golden State Warriors and the Charlotte Hornets seemed ordinary until the very last seconds when the Warriors decided to score when the contest was already decided.

Namely, Warriors' Lester Quinones made a layup with just 12.2 seconds left when the head coaches of the two teams already shook hands. Charlotte's Miles Bridges attempted to block the shot, but ultimately, it was ruled as a goaltending. Moments later, Bridges started verbally addressing Quinones for the action.

As Bridges seemed to begin to walk away, his teammate, Grant Williams, went head-on into the situation and butted heads with Quinones. Both players had to be separated by their teammates.

Quinones received two technical fouls and had to leave the game, while Bridges and Williams received one technical each. Additionally, Williams got ejected for being an escalator of the entire conflict.

The Warriors ended up winning the game relatively easily, 97-84.
