When Joakim Noah travels to Cleveland, he doesn't come in peace. Ever since his "Cleveland really sucks" quote from 2010, subsequent trips to Quicken Loans Arena have been dodgy. Last month, he called LeBron James a "pussy" during a game in Cleveland, and last night, he traded barbs with Ohio State quarterback Cardale Jones.
The entire night was an L for the Bulls and Noah. He recorded 4 points, 7 rebounds, and 7 assists in their 106-91 Game 2 loss, and after the game, the lumps continued. He was heckled while walking off the court, prompting some handsy action between himself and an inaudible shit-talking fan.

Either after that video or before it (probably after, as Noah still had to head down the tunnel, presumably right underneath a mass of Clevelanders/people who hate Noah), he was spit on by an opposing fan.
Joakim Noah told a security guard that a Cavs fan spit on him as he was leaving the court.
