Luckily the players were able to be separated before any real damage was done, but you can be sure suspensions and fines will be handed down. The Pistons know all too well what can happen when the fans get involved in a fight.

You have to wonder if NBA commissioner Adam Silver will already be on the phone by halftime, because it's a look that no one involved in the league ever wants to see. Detroit leads at the half.
