Bucks' Marvin Williams, Magic's James Ennis ejected after fight in Game 3

The Milwaukee BucksMarvin Williams and the Orlando Magic’s James Ennis took early trips back to their hotel rooms following a dustup in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference first-round series.

Ennis threw a punch in the fracas and Bucks assistant coaches Charles Lee and Darvin Ham got involved, with Ham falling to the ground. Both players were ejected.

The two tussled below the basket with 5:39 left in the first half and the Bucks out to a 19-point lead. When Ennis turned to go back up court after a missed shot, he threw his shoulder into Williams.

The confrontation escalated from there.

Ennis appeared to throw a punch, but the Bucks assistants came in at the same time. He could have been trying to get them off of him as he stared down Williams. Ham fell when it happened.

Ennis made one of his two free throws and missed two field goals in 9:04 on the floor. Williams had two rebounds in 6:09.

The eighth-seeded Magic stunned the Bucks in Game 1, but fell even with them in the series in Game 2. At half on Saturday, the Bucks led 70-43.

Milwaukee went on to an easy 121-107 win for the 2-1 series lead. Giannis Antetokounmpo nearly had a triple-double with 35 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists.
