Play was stopped when a crew came over to clean up the wet spots. Ingram sat on the bench and watched employees, including the man he punched in the face, clean up the mess he had made.

It was unclear whether Ingram apologized for the outburst.

He had 21 points and eight rebounds in 37 minutes and the 76ers won the game, 130-120.
