With 6:54 remaining, Anderson Varejao grabbed an offensive rebound and got hit in the face by Villanueva as he went back up with the shot.

Zydrunas Ilgauskas rushed to Varejao's aid and he and Villanueva went chest-to-chest before the Bucks' forward put his right hand around Ilgauskas' neck. Ilgauskas received a technical foul but was not ejected.

Villanueva had 26 points and 13 rebounds prior to his departure.
