What was, maybe, you could call it a hard foul at best, has turned into a- just a, ugly, ugly scene. The officials- I think they're going to call this game off- and that should be the- the outcome is definitely decided. You know, these ridiculous fans trying to go at the players, are now throwing. Somebody could really get hurt. 

* '''This is a bad showing from the Pistons fans here
,; just firing bottles from the stands! The Pacers have all gone back, in toward the locker room, and they're getting,- thrown a lot of debris, and they're still not all the way through.''' And for some reason, one of the- they hold Austin Croshere out, they won't even let him get- go under the tunnel, because they're afraid for his safety!

He fouled Wallace from behind, but Wallace overreacted to that foul. Err- It became such a dangerous situation, there you see Stephen Jackson in there taking shot, at the stands.''' And granted, it's very difficult, when you're a player and the fans come at you, either physically or verbally, but you just have to restrain yourself, you just can't respond to it!
