Pistons big man Isaiah Stewart appeared to make a gun gesture towards the Pacers' bench on Wednesday night after he was ejected in chaotic scenes. Stewart, who has a history of fighting in the NBA, was assessed a flagrant-two foul after shoving Thomas Bryant to the ground as the Pistons grabbed a rebound.

And after being tossed out of the game, Stewart seemingly made a gun gesture towards Indiana players while their fans booed him as well. Stewart's push of Bryant did not escalate to a brawl as the Indiana big man was held back by teammates Aaron Nesmith and T.J. McConnell.

Stewart indicated after the game that he had been provoked by trash talk from the Pacers prior to his ejection. 'A lot of talk, a lot of words - I know that's what opponents are going to do because that's all they have, is words,' he said, via the Detroit News.

'I slipped up, fell for the trap, and I let my teammates down. … I have to be better at not letting those words allow me to affect the team. I know my squad could have used me out there tonight, and going forward, all they got for me is words. They don't have anything else.'.
