Sprawling Brawl Mars Ending of Knicks' Loss

[gristy]

With slightly more than a minute left in the Knicks’ game against the Denver Nuggets last night at Madison Square Garden, a brawl erupted near the Nuggets’ basket, giving the image-conscious N.B.A. another black eye.

With just over a minute left in the game and the Knicks trailing by 19, Mardy Collins fouled the Nuggets’ J. R. Smith, sparking a melee.

Numerous players, including the Nuggets star Carmelo Anthony, scuffled and threw punches. All 10 players who were on the court at the time of the fight were ejected.

5. Two words...

Isiah Thomas, he single handedly turns everything he touches to shit when it comes to basketball management.

I was watching that game tonight, it was a nasty brawl...expect big fines and suspensions especially for Carmelo Anthony
