Nikola Jokic of the Denver Nuggets picked up a technical foul in the team's NBA Playoffs game against the Phoenix Suns when he elbowed Suns owner Mat Ishbia after the ball went out of bounds.

The Suns are trying to tie the series at 2-2 heading back to Denver for Game 5. If it happens, the home team will have won each game of the series.

Here is a video clip of the exchange:

Unsurprisingly, NBA fans had plenty of reactions on Twitter after the Nikola Jokic exchange with Mat Ishbia. Let's get to them.
