Temper, Temper!

Luguentz Dort held Nikola Jokic under the basket, Jokic freed himself by pushing off. 

Then Jokic (6'11", 284 lbs) shoulder checked Isaiah Puffnstuff (7'0", 249), knocking him to the floor. Jokic got called for a foul but before play stopped the ball went to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander ("SGA"; 6'6" 195). Said SGA drove and elbowed said Joker in the left side just above the waistband. Didn't faze Joker who blocked SGA's shot, during which SGA, with the agility that makes him the reigning league MVP caught the ball and threw it at said Joker before his feet hit the ground. Technical on said SGA.
