Jason Terry and Steve Blake had a altercation during the fourth quarter of Thursday's 110-82 win by the Lakers over Dallas.

Terry, Blake, Matt Barnes and Brendan Haywood were ejected. Shannon Brown was later ejected in a separate incident.

"It’s been a long week for me," said Terry, who traveled to his hometown of Seattle on Tuesday to attend his aunt’s funeral. "Emotions got the best of me tonight. I already apologized to the team. You just can’t let that happen in big games. But the gamewas getting out of hand, so things happen." 

 "We’ve just got to get tougher," said Tyson Chandler. "I don’t mean throwing punches. I mean basketball-wise."
