VIDEO: Plumlee, Butler nearly come to blows after hard pick, trip

Tensions ran high late between the Chicago Bulls and Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday night. After Mason Plumlee smoked Jimmy Butler with a hard pick that leveled him, Butler responded by using his feet to trip the Blazers center.

Butler continued to take exception, using the same forehead move on Plumlee he applied to Nene during a mixup in the 2014 playoffs.

Plumlee was assessed a flagrant 1 while Butler received a technical foul.
