It started out as a fight but then it transformed into a...kiss?
David West of the Golden State Warriors and Cavs' Tristan Thompson got uncomfortably close during an altercation in the second quarter of NBA Finals Game 5.
It happened after Kyrie Irving and West crossed paths on a loose ball. West then shoved Irving, sparking an argument with Thompson.
Somehow, the players ended locking lips and the internet went crazy with it. (Click NEXT PAGE for more)
I've been out with this guy three times, and things haven't gotten this intimate between us yet pic.twitter.com/ZdGB2dyr9i

You naturally focus on West & Thompson.
It's when you look at the refs where the shot really gets amazing. pic.twitter.com/taqbtF5Ril

All respect for Thompson. Willing to kiss David West in the mouth to protect Kyrie.

Quite frankly I'd rather David West punch me in the face (again) than do this. #NBAFinals #DefendTheLand pic.twitter.com/q4JJjiWIN0
