During the third quarter of the Bulls’ brutal game against the Raptors on Tuesday night in Toronto, a decent brawl — by NBA standards — erupted.

Waiting for a rebound, the Bulls’ Robin Lopez bumped into the Raptors’ Serge Ibaka, sparking trouble. After a few shoves, each big man threw a punch, with Ibaka leaving a nasty red mark on the side of Lopez’s face.

After both teams spilled onto the court to break things up, Lopez and Ibaka were each ejected.

The Bulls went on to blow a late, 15-point fourth-quarter lead, losing 122-120 in overtime.

Don't let supporters of CO2 pipelines kid you. There are risks.
We know that pipes can break. Escaping CO2 is toxic, polluting, combustible and explosive. Just ask the residents of Sartartia, Mississippi, what happened when a CO2 pipe burst there in 2020.
