http://realgm.com/images/nba/4.2/wiretap/team/min_40.gifKevin Garnett (http://www.realgm.com/src_playerfile/332/kevin_garnett/) and Antonio McDyess (http://www.realgm.com/src_playerfile/230/antonio_mcdyess/) were ejected in the 4th quarter of Friday's double-overtime game in Minnesota (http://timberwolves.realgm.com/).
"I know they can win without me. I don't think they can win without K.G.," said McDyess, who appeared to start the tangle by knocking Mark Madsen (http://www.realgm.com/src_playerfile/146/mark_madsen/) over with a forearm while they maneuvered for rebound position with 5:18 remaining in regulation and the score tied.
Garnett got mad and chucked the ball at McDyess, who charged at Garnett with his fist cocked. Garnett was poised to punch, too, and took a swipe at McDyess as he partially retreated, but teammates and officials stayed between the two and no blows were landed.
"Everyone in this locker room is behind Kevin Garnett (http://www.realgm.com/src_playerfile/332/kevin_garnett/) 100 percent," Madsen said.
McDyess claimed it wasn't his fault and also complained that a fan yelled a racial slur at him as he left the court following the scrum.
"I never threw a punch or anything. I wanted to," McDyess said, laughing.
Garnett did not comment to reporters.
