CBA's Zhejiang Lions brawled with an NBA D-League team; Chairs got thrown [UPDATED]

J.R. Smith's old CBA team, the Zhejiang Lions, were involved in a brawl with an American bunch of NBA D-Leaguers identified as the "New Orleans Hurricanes" by Deadspin.

Weibo user Shi Shiwu elaborated:

"Zhejiang and American teams brawled ~~American player No. 17 had a nasty attitude from the start! Was an intense spectacle, tossed mineral waters filled the court. No. 17 picked up a stool and threw it at the spectators, in the end riot police showed up."



**Update from Deadspin: "(4:19 p.m.): The NBA D-League denies any relationship to the "New Orleans Hurricanes" and does not know if any of the players involved are current or former members of the D-League. Furthermore, the players involved do not represent the D-League or any D-League team."

Haven't had a good US v Chinese basketball brawl since Georgetown was involved in an exhibition in Beijing against the Bayi Rockets last year.
