Punches were thrown, chairs flew through the air, and even the spectators got stuck in as the game between Washington's Georgetown University Hoyas and the People's Liberation Army team turned violent.
One spectator described how "all hell broke loose" on the court after a scuffle between two of the players.
"When the Chinese were on defence, they were unnecessarily aggressive, touching, pushing, grabbing the ball. If you ask me, it was risky behaviour for a friendly exhibition game," witnessed Beijing resident Sarah E. Burton.
A US embassy spokesman said the incident, which came the day after Biden stopped by to watch a Hoyas friendly on his first night in Beijing, was "unfortunate".
It was not immediately clear what triggered the fight, which forced the match to be abandoned.
