The game was still scoreless and not even two minutes had elapsed when Klay Thompson and Jaden McDaniels got in a shoving match near midcourt following a Timberwolves possession. Green rushed in and pulled Gobert away from behind with his arm around the center's neck.

Thompson’s jersey was ripped during the scuffle, which led to Green's second ejection of the season and two free throw attempts for Gobert. Green was issued a Flagrant 2 foul and Thompson and McDaniels were issued double technical fouls. All of them were ejected.

Without Steph Curry due to a knee injury, the Warriors suffered their first loss in their second in-season tournament game and first on their home court. On their other hand, the Wolves racked up their seventh straight win in the season.
