In the aftermath of the scuffle between the Charlotte Hornets and the Detroit Pistons, NBA fans didn’t just focus on the win — they zeroed in on Miles Bridges’ postgame jab.
After Detroit’s 110-104 victory, Bridges shared a photo from the altercation involving himself, Jalen Duren and Isaiah Stewart. His caption read, “They enforcer was grabbing hair he wasn’t tryna box fr.”
That was all NBA fans needed.
@BarrettsGoat fired back, “talkin about rules of boxing when he tried to box his girlfriend btw.’’

@Cr3ran8C4d3 added, “Bridges didn’t know what to do cuz he’s used to boxing women instead”
@TidesofHistory1 chimed in, “Says the guy who wrapped him up to avoid exchanging with a real boxer lmao any fighter knows Bridges didn’t want that smoke.”
Both Bridges and Stewart were ejected after the benches cleared, but Detroit still handled business. The Pistons’ win kept them atop the East with one game left before the All-Star break.
“He wanted all that and the hair”: NBA fans debate Isaiah Stewart’s approach
While Bridges mocked Stewart for grabbing hair instead of throwing punches, NBA fans were split on what actually happened in the scrum.
@WiZZelS1 posted, “He wanted all that and the hair.”
@CavsandEffect took a shot at Detroit’s toughness, writing, “Pistons fans swear their team is tough and then you have this.”
@80000Beers offered a different angle: “He was trying to keep him close so he could punch him lmfao your boy was running.”
Whether it was hair-pulling, clinching or strategic grappling, NBA fans turned a heated moment into another round of online debate. The game may be over, but the commentary clearly isn’t.
