The NY Post is reporting that New York Knicks coach Derek Fisher and Memphis Grizzlies guard Matt Barnes got into a fist fight Saturday night in LA.

Barnes reportedly was upset that Fisher is dating his ex-wife Gloria.
Derek was in Gloria’s back yard with about 10 people having a bonfire on Saturday,” said a source. “Derek’s separated from his wife and there’s a relationship with [Gloria]…Barnes was in Santa Barbara [at Memphis Grizzlies training camp] and heard that Fisher was in his house. He went crazy. He got in his car and went to the house and went after Fisher.”
Another source said, “Someone told Matt that Fisher was at the house and he drove down there — he went over to confront Derek. A source close to Fisher confirmed the fight but said, “Matt came after Derek but he only had a few scratches … Derek’s not going to press charges, he’s going to let it go.
Fisher left the scene before cops arrived, and we hear that Govan’s planning to file a restraining order.
Wow.
