The Indiana Pacers secured a dramatic 105-99 overtime victory over the Brooklyn Nets on Thursday, but the game was marred by a massive brawl involving players from both teams, including Nets forward Trendon Watford and Pacers' Andrew Nembhard and Myles Turner.

In the middle of the fourth quarter, Watford, while running past, collided with Nembhard, and the situation quickly escalated into a full-blown altercation between the teams.

Myles Turner, rushing to defend his teammate, shoved Watford, and soon, players from both benches, along with team staff, poured onto the court.
