The incident started when Dennis Schroder fouled Anunoby on a fast break to prevent him from scoring.
Anunoby reacted by dropping Schroder to the ground, and Harrell and a few other players came to the defense of their teammates.
The Lakers had gotten off to a red-hot start, mainly due to their accurate shooting from 3-point range. The team led 40-28 at the end of the first period.
The game is part of a seven-game road trip for the Purple and Gold. The contest is being held in Tampa, Fla. due to concerns about the COVID-19 pandemic.
