Sacre blue! Not everyone seems to be having a good time in Paris.

Tristan Thompson was ejected and had to be separated from Brooklyn Nets center Nick Claxton during the second half of Thursday’s game between the Cavaliers and the Brooklyn Nets, which is being played in France.

The two had been jawing back and forth. After a bucket by Claxton, he began yelling and Thompson forcibly bumped into his chest. The two then had to be separated, and the court was swarmed with team officials.

The Cavs defeated the Nets 111-102 and will now return back to the United States.
