Push battle erupts during Warriors/Pacers game
(Sorry video was removed. The NBA hates "fights")
This is what is considered a fight in the NBA nowadays. Players know that punches thrown will equal multiple game suspensions (and multiple games of lost pay), so no one is going to throw any punches. Just a bunch of pushes and each teams's 10 assistant coaches tying to hold players back. The problem is that these push battles often fall into the stands and that's when players will get suspended regardless of punches thrown (see Rondo, Rajon).
In terms of entertainment this "fight" was mildly entertaining. you can thank Stephen Curry for that. Personally I give him props for coming to his teammate's aid (even though Roy Hibbert wasn't going to really do anything).
