Even though the incident happened quickly, it reached a level of volatility rarely seen in basketball games. The two players did a little pushing and shoving down the floor until Leonard snapped and body-slammed Orton, who then retaliated with an elbow to Leonard's mouth.

Leonard will sit out Sunday when the Trail Blazers play against the Detroit Pistons. Orton will serve his suspension on Dec. 16 when the Sixers travel to the Brooklyn Nets.
