“He grabbed them, squeezed them then back-punched them. I wouldn’t have reacted that way if he didn’t do it, it was like a punch, it’s the worst feeling.” Taulava told the Philippine Star.



Taulava and Jing were both ejected from the game because of the incident.



After the game, Taulava took time in updating his newly created Twitter page with a statement of apology.



"Would like to apologize to everybody that watched the game today for losing my cool. No excuses for my actions, and I’m sorry," Taulava tweeted.



The Philippines won the said game against Malaysia, 86-68.
