With the hosts leading 85-73 in the fourth quarter at John Cain Arena, a foul call saw things get feisty on the court.
United’s Shea Ili and Adelaide’s Montrezl Harrell were both thrown out as a large group of players from both teams got involved in the scuffle.
But things descended into chaos after that with a fan sitting courtside in Melbourne appearing to trade verbal barbs with Harrell, before Dejan Vasiljevic was pushed, prompting an angry response from the 36ers en masse.
Officials quickly moved to try and ease the tensions.
ESPN’s Olgun Uluc reported four fans were ejected from the building.
United went on to win 113-93.
