NBA: Knicks v. Nuggets brawl

Ten players were ejected (all those on the court at the time), seven have since been suspended (with NBA scoring leader Carmelo Anthony getting the longest suspension of 15 games), and the Knicks and Nuggets clubs have each been fined US$500,000, after one of the biggest all-in brawls ever seen in NBA history.



From the Houston Chronicle...

It was the NBA's scariest scene since the brawl between Pacers players and Pistons fans two years ago. The league is still recovering from that episode, and Stern made it clear the players must learn to control themselves.

"We're going to go after the players who aren't able to stop," he said during a conference call. "We have set up the goal of eliminating fighting from our game. We haven't eliminated it completely."

Anthony's suspension was the sixth longest in NBA history. Mardy Collins, whose hard foul on Smith sparked the fighting, was suspended six games and Knicks teammate Jared Jeffries will miss four. Also, the Knicks' Jerome James and Denver's Nene were both penalized one game for leaving the bench area during the chaos.
