Wednesday's Braves and Flames clash ended in a fisticuffs when Braves' forward Kwame swung an elbow hitting Mohammed a Flames forward just above the eye. It was not clear whether Kwame has intended to hit him or Mohammed was just a victim of hard play.

A Flames fan however took offense at the hard foul and charged onto the court apparently to attack Kwame. This resulted in a free for all fight. Eventually, tempers cooled down but officials and coaches of the two teams agreed to end the game.

The score at the time of the altercation was Braves 48, Flames 32. In other matches, Fire Service beat Wizards 51 -46. After 7, the savvy veterans once again took on a younger team - Flames on Saturday and beat them 62 -60. Flames led by as much as 11 - 0 early in the first but failed to keep the lead as After 7 fought back and captured the lead late in the third behind two back-to-back three from Alex Kukula. In the last game of the weekend, Warriors beat Fire Service 45 -44.
