Rozier, Potapenko Ejected for Fighting

A Cleveland-Minnesota exhibition game was marred by a fourth-quarter fight between the Timberwolves’ Clifford Rozier and the Cavaliers’ Vitaly Potapenko in St. Louis.

Both players threw punches under the Minnesota basket with 3:36 left, with Rozier connecting on Potapenko’s face, knocking the 6-foot-10, 280-pound center to the floor. Teammates grabbed both players, who wanted to continue fighting. Both Rozier and Potapenko were assessed flagrant fouls and ejected.
