Flournoy was seen to swing an arm towards the back of his fellow American Harker and both were ejected by officials. Despite a knee injury, Hyatt led Eagles scorers with 19 points, backed by 15 from England international Andrew Sullivan. Jeff Bonds was top scorer with 19 points for Bullets, who have lost their last six games.
Hyatt was still having his damages knee iced last night, but scored 22 points as Newcastle cruised to a less controversial win at Plymouth Raiders, which put Eagles clear in second place behind Scottish Rocks. They followed Thursday's win over Chester Jets with a 96-92 victory over Brighton Bears last night.
Leicester Riders stay third, but lost ground following a 93-66 hammering last night at Sheffield Sharks.
