Watch: Russell Westbrook, Aaron Gordon, and Scottie Barnes get into heated altercation after Raptors star gets viciously fouled by Nuggets duo

Russell Westbrook and Aaron Gordon viciously fouling Scottie Barnes on his way to the rim was one of the major highlights of the matchup between the Denver Nuggets and the Toronto Raptors at the Scotiabank Arena on Monday (Oct. 28). The Nuggets duo in their attempt to stop Barnes tried to block his shot and saw the Toronto forward hitting the floor.

What started with Westbrook and an angry Barnes exchanging words soon became a brouhaha when Gordon stepped in before he and Barnes got into a shoving contest and had to be separated by players from both sides. It all went down with the Raptors leading the Nuggets 88-83 with 11:36 left in the fourth quarter.

At the time of writing, Russell Westbrook and Gordon had 13 and seven points respectively. Barnes was already on a double-double with 17 points and 11 rebounds.
