Perk & Z-Bo get ejected, allegedly get into fight postgame
Above is the video from the game of former Celtic Kendrick Perkins and Memphis big man Zach Randolph getting ejected. Back in the days they never would have gotten ejected, but in the post Malace in the Palace NBA world we live in, they get the boot. I believe Perk's last words before getting the hook were, "I'll beat yo ass." If this was the 80's or 90's and they actually fought on the court it would have been pretty wild.
Below is chatter on the "alleged" fight. Sounds like it wasn't physical, just both guys talking in KG's language.
@johnhollinger Oh, there was something. We had a NewsOK staffer who heard the yelling and something hitting against walls, doors.

Source that witnessed it says Randolph and Perk didn't physically confront each other but were just "cussing back and forth" in the tunnel.

I asked an OKC police officer what happened and he smiled and said "no comment."
