Game 3 between the Milwaukee Bucks and the Detroit Pistons almost broke into a fight when Sterling Brown and Andre Drummond got into each others' faces.
Fortunately, the Bucks have preventive measures in place in case things like these happen. Bucks assistant coach Taylor Jenkins was quick to his feet and hilariously jumped in front of their bench to prevent the players from joining the on-court melee.

Great defense, coach Jenkins!
The altercation started when Drummond and Brown got into a shoving match late in the first quarter. Fortunately, Jenkins' efforts weren't needed that much as the players on the court were able to separate the two immediately and prevent any other physical altercation from happening. The referees issued them both with technical fouls.
Milwaukee ended up with the 119-103 Game 3 victory even with the return of Pistons All-Star Blake Griffin. They are now just one win away from advancing to the Eastern Conference semi-finals.
Nevertheless, this series is all but a foregone conclusion. The 60-win Bucks are proving too much for the eight-seeded Pistons to handle. Detroit just has no chance and no answer with Milwaukee firing from all cylinders and completely locked in on both ends of the floor.
Heck, with the way the Bucks are dominating the Pistons in this series, they could have lost their entire bench to suspensions and would still sweep Detroit.
Game 4, which is most likely the final game of this series, tips off on Monday.
