This stared prior to the game when Reaves and Deslauriers appeared to be planning the fight for the game. In this fight, Reaves started off swinging, while Deslauriers was patiently waiting and then struck Reaves several times to take him down. Reaves appeared to be injured from the fight. Now, both of these players have been in over 80 fights and now have fought each other 3 times. Hopefully, we will see more fights between these two.
