WASHINGTON — Oklahoma City’s Jaylin Williams and Washington’s Justin Champagnie were ejected following an altercation late in the first half of Saturday night’s 132-111 Thunder win.
Following a basket by Washington’s Anthony Gill, Williams and Champagnie began shoving each other under the basket. Gill and Oklahoma City’s Ajay Mitchell became involved and the altercation quickly escalated and spilled into the seating area behind the basket before order was restored.

After a lengthy review by the officials, Champagnie and Williams each received two technical fouls and were ejected. Mitchell and Cason Wallace of the Thunder each received one technical foul and were also ejected.
“I disagreed with their judgment after talking to them and watching it at halftime,” Thunder coach Mark Daigneault said after the game. “But I’ve worked with [crew chief] John Goble a long time, and he worked through it with me and we had to agree to disagree and we both moved on.”
