Jared Dudley vs. EVERYBODY
Both Butler and Dudley would be ejected for the altercation. Despite losing their elite late-game closer, the Sixers would go on to beat the Nets in a wild back and forth affair.

Before the altercation, Dudley had been putting on an epic trolling performance on Simmons. Mocking him and instigating whenever he had the chance. Following that up with chirps from his phone from the locker room would only be fitting at this point.
Jared Dudley did his job, have to appreciate the fact that he was able to take Butler down with him.

I don’t think Stephen A was a big fan of the call here. Just a hunch…
Now THAT’s Bull$&@$! Go ahead and give flagrants to both @JoelEmbiid and @JaredDudley619. Although I hate how soft these rules are, the rules are what they are. But there’s no way @JimmyButler should’ve been ejected. These are the @NBA Playoffs, damnit! No fists were thrown.#Damn
Sean Marks sent Jared Dudley out there tonight on a mission to get one of Philadelphia’s star players ejected. This only confirms the theory.

What a legend indeed. An all-time pest performance from Dudley, cementing himself as one of the true playoff foils.

I know Jimmy, you fell victim to the oldest trick in the books. You win some, you lose some.
