Cavaliers guard Ricky Rubio took it personally when Nuggets Facundo Campazzo put his knee down to stop Rubio from getting a three-pointer during Monday night's game. Things got heated for a moment when Rubio got back up and right in Campazzo's face. They had a brief stare down before teammates came rushing out to defend Rubio. Both players were issued technicals, but that was the worst of it.

Kevin Love, who scored 22 points in the Cavaliers' 99-87 win over the Nuggets, joked, "that would've been one of the worst fights I've seen in my life."

"I loved it, personally," said Love, who seemed quite entertained by the scuffle. "I thought it was worth the price of admission. I probably would have not paid for the pay per view, but if there was like an undercard for a Jake Paul fight, maybe I would've."
