Austin Rivers Takes on Oklahoma City Big Man Nick Collison, Gets Ejected

New Orleans Pelicans Guard Austin Rivers got in a shoving match with Oklahoma City Thunder's Nick Collison last night. Though it earned Austin Rivers and Nick Collision a double ejection, the Pelicans still won the game.

According to Sports Illustrated
Pelicans guard Austin Rivers and Thunder forward Nick Collison were ejected after getting into a shoving match during New Orleans’ 101-89 home victory over Oklahoma City on Monday.
This was a case of a younger player being unwilling to take any more guff from a veteran.
With a little over eight minutes remaining in the second quarter and New Orleans leading 32-31, Rivers shoved Collison as the Thunder big man tried to set a pick on him. The extracurricular activities continued as the action moved to the other end, with the 6-foot-9 Collison veering into the 6-foot-4 Rivers from behind as they ran up the court.
