With 6:57 remaining in the third quarter of the Nuggets-Spurs game, the duo had to be separated by teammates, officials, and the coaching staffs.
After Collins and Nikola Jokic had a series of hard bumps and shoves, Porter threw down a monstrous one-handed dunk on Collins.
Porter then glared and said something to Collins, who responded by charging at and bumping him from behind. The two were nose-to-nose before Porter pushed Collins in the throat.
Porter had 7 points in 20 minutes, while Collins posted 10 points and 9 rebounds before the ejection.
The Spurs ended up winning the home game 128-120 and concluded insane Nikola Jokic's triple-double win streak.
