In the end, a couple of elbows and angry words were exchanged, (Roy) Hibbert got tossed, everybody this side of old-timers Freddie Lewis and Rick Barry got technical fouls, but ultimately, the biggest fight of this NBA season turned into much ado about very little.

It spilled over into the stands, but in this case, the fans were smart enough — and scared enough — to stay out of the madness.

There may be a suspension or two despite the fact the initial replays showed no overt punches being thrown. Probably Hibbert. Maybe Golden State’s David Lee, who started the whole thing. Possibly Indiana’s David West, who tossed a few folks out of his way before reverting to peacemaker status.
