As the talk went on, both Harrell and Caldwell-Pope took swings at each other - with neither connecting - and became entangled before their teammates had to separate them.
By the time both players reached the locker room, the altercation had already ended. Increased security was present at all times during halftime to ensure that the tensions did not flare up again.
