Rivers claims Mo and Fultz started it with over the line verbal dissing.

However this video shows Rivers clearly going out of his way, off the court even and up in the face of Magic bench player(s).

Need better video, up close too.
Surely that will be leaking out.

Developing story......

"A few minutes earlier, Rivers missed a 3-point attempt from in front of the Orlando bench, and Bamba and Markelle Fultz (http://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/4066636/markelle-fultz) could be seen reacting to the miss."

A key here for me is Rivers leaving the playing floor and going right up to player(s) on the Magic bench.

Ever since Stern gave Steven Jackson and Ape World Piece the lengthy suspensions, seems like it's been a gradual slide to lighter and lighter penalties.

While I'm generally for a somewhat lighter sentence IF no one gets hurt, this kind of ish tonight is the stuff that COULD lead into another Malice Palace.

Doubt Stern Jr will do it, but should consider laying the hammer down hard. Rivers from what i have seen so far should get 30 games. Repeat, only by what I've seen so far. Need close ups of the bench area altercation. But all indications are Rivers started the physical confrontation. Or perhaps Mo did throw the 1st punch.

Blacks fighting, non-issue. If a white man got hurt they'd use tranquilizer darts.

I miss the days when they would just let 'em play through this.

Where did you find two blacks fighting?

Soft on Crime Stern Jr.

Only 3 games for Rivers, 4 for Mo.

Jalen Suggs got 1 game for what? He was trying to break it up.

Timberwolves guard Austin Rivers suspended 3 games for altercation with Mo Bamba (fox9.com) (https://www.fox9.com/sports/timberwolves-guard-austin-rivers-suspended-3-games-for-altercation-with-mo-bamba)
