CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) - The fight Thursday night between Donovan Mitchell and Dillon Brooks was heated.

And so were Mitchell’s postgame comments.

Editor’s Note: The video below includes instances of profanity. Viewer discretion advised.

“That’s just who he is,” said Mitchell, who was ejected in the third quarter for throwing the ball at Brooks. “We’ve seen it a bunch in this league with him. Him and I have had our personal battles for years. There’s no place for that in the game. This has been brewing for years with me and other guys in the league. You all see it. This isn’t new.”

Both players were ejected.

Cleveland won the game 128-113.
