Gordon Hayward on Delonte West: “I Wanted Fight Right There”

In one of the strangest scenes you’ll see in an NBA game, Delonte West, who was apparently upset with Gordon Hayward for some reason, shoved his finger in Hayward’s ear. It was also one of the more disrespectful things you’ll ever see too. Gordon agrees and wanted to fight West. Or at least, so he says:

“I wanted to fight right there, but you can’t do that,” Hayward said before Tuesday’s practice. “It wouldn’t have been the smart idea. I’d risk getting a technical foul, getting suspended for the season, whatever. There’s more important things than fighting someone out on the court. The more important thing was getting the win and we were able to do that.”
