USA vs China in BasketBRAWL

In the midst of a good will trip to china (also during Biden's visit to "improve relations" ) The Georgetown University Hoyas played an exhibition with China's Rockets. Very Quickly the game devolved into hard fouling and penalty shots, finally resulting in this brawl, and the Hoyas exiting the stadium in the fourth period tied at 64 points a piece. Smooth move US, did we at least win the fight?

Hard fouling and over agreesiveness from players and fans is actually a new tactic from Chinese teams. This had nothing to do with GT, and has happened to other international teams. Apparently they've thought their players were wimps, and decided to overcompensate with over-the-top violence: http://www.nbcwashington.com/blogs/capital-games/128022218.html

I've never seen any sports game that went to become a brawl because of one team. Two teams are on the court/field/pitch along with their coaches on the side and the referees. So without seeing the game in it's entirety I can't agree that it's all the Chinese players fault.

Of course it takes two people to exchange punches. But if one party has a recent history of instigating violence.......I mean, the Georgetown team had every reason NOT to brawl, given that they were on a diplomatic mission, far away from home, with the Vice-Prez in town.
