That is because Gandalf and the Balrog are both on the same hierarchy of angels (see OP) and they were mind battling before the physical battle happened.

Many of LOTRs shortcomings were simply a function of bringing a book to screen, and I don't blame Jackson for it's many flaws. But the Hobbit? Jeezus. I wanted to puke at the end of the movie lol.
I walked out of the first one and have never bothered to watch the rest. It was so terrible.
