The Warriors-Pacers Game Saw a Brawl Ensue

H/T SB Nation
Things got a little bit tense in the Circle City this evening, as members of the Indiana Pacers and Golden State Warriors got into a brawl.

With 6:06 to play in the fourth quarter, Warriors forward David Lee was shoved away by Pacers center Roy Hibbert as they were battling in the paint, following David West's attempted shot went off the backboard. Then, Stephen Curry grabbed Hibbert, but Hibbert would throw him off, but the persistent Curry went back and shoved him away as the brawl neared the crowd.


It should be interesting to see what the aftermath of this brawl will be. Hibbert seemed to be a prominent figure in the brawl and it would not surprise me if he got suspended two or three games. I suspect Stephen Curry will probably slapped with a game or two for continuing the brawl as things were escalating. 

Outside of that, David West and David Lee are possibilities but seem unlikely. 

Indiana went on to win the game 108-97.

UPDATE: The League Office, specifically Stu Jackson, the league's Executive Vice President, has come down and announced that Roy Hibbert and David Lee will be suspended one game each. Also announced is that Klay Thompson, Stephen Curry and Lance Stephenson will each be fined $35,000.
