On Wednesday night, Detroit beat Orlando (121-101) and ended a six-game losing streak in the NBA.

But this is not necessarily what we will remember from this match, marked by three exclusions, including that of Killian Hayes.

The Franco-American leader of the Pistons hit the pivot of the Magic Moritz Wagner in the back of the neck, after the German projected him off the field with a shoulder blow, at the end of the second quarter.

Before being hit by Hayes, Wagner had been pushed in the back by Hamidou Diallo, another Pistons player, and appeared knocked out.

The situation then escalated into a free-for-all, and Hayes, like Wagner and Diallo, were sent off.

The 21-year-old Franco-American, trained in Cholet, could pay dearly for this freakout.
