From what I’ve read the Filipino team quite frequently get into brawls..maybe not to that level but has happened on a few occasions before.
Apparently the Australian team were seen ‘defacing’ the court pregame by removing stickers of some sort which the locals were not appreciative of. Not sure if that was the catalyst but probably didn’t help.
