The
date is Nov.19. 2004. The place, the Palace of Auburn Hills, the home court
of the Detroit Pistons.
About 45 seconds are left in the game, and Piston Ben Wallace is going up
for a shot against the Indiana Pacers. With the Pacers already leading 97-82
and the game already well in hand for the Pacers, it begins. Indiana Pacer

of the worst fan-player confrontations begins. After Wallace retaliates and
Pistons coaches holding him back, Artest goes and lies on the scorer’s
table, before getting a drink tossed on him. Artest then ran into the
stands, where the haymakers began to get thrown.
