* '''Uh, that's what triggered the big brawl in the stands. You saw what just triggered the entire incident. Artest, with a foul that he should've let go. 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! There is so many bottles and cups thrown- there's Artest, after what Jim Gray reported. And he saw there was no security around at the time, and it was too late. Many of the players going in there to get Artest out of there. And it had seemed that the whole thing had calmed down, when that fan came at Ron Artest. And another incident from Ron Artest, so unfortunate. And again, the fan, hopefully, the security's able to get the fan and he'll receive proper punishment, but the overreaction. That was Larry Brown who tried to make an announcement to the fans; so upset with what happened. And the Pistons have some great fans, but a lot of them tonight were an absolute disgrace, the ones throwing things and getting involved. The final score, where the game cancelled before the time had run out. Pacers defeat the Pistons, with a very ugly, ugly scene to finish off. Now let's join John Saunders, in our ESPN studio.
