I think Horry got the bad end of this. Stackhouse started the altercation and Horry needed to vent his anger but should've done it to Stackhouse instead of the ref.
NEW YORK, March 3 – Robert Horry of the San Antonio Spurs has been suspended two games without pay for intentionally making physical contact with a game official and for his actions during an altercation with Dallas’ Jerry Stackhouse, it was announced today by Stu Jackson, NBA Senior Vice President of Basketball Operations.
The incident occurred with 1:02 remaining in the fourth period of the Spurs 98-89 win over the Mavericks at AT&T Center in San Antonio. Horry and Stackhouse were each assessed a personal and technical foul and, subsequently, Stackhouse’s foul has been upgraded by the League Office to a Flagrant Foul Penalty One.
Stackhouse has also been fined $30,000 for publicly criticizing the officials following the game.
Horry will serve his suspension tomorrow when the Spurs host the Portland Trail Blazers and on Monday, March 6 when the Spurs face the Los Angeles Lakers at Staples Center.

$30,000 and he has to continue living with the fact that he sucks.
Isn't Stackhouse the guy who said Grant Hill had no heart while Hill was grinding his ankle into powder for the Pistons?
Maybe he should've only gotten one game, but contact is contact.
Well by the press release, it's not just for the contact with the official.
Stack's foul was upgraded to a flagrant 1 as well.
NBA fines Stackhouse $30K, suspends Horry

Mavericks guard Jerry Stackhouse was fined $30,000 by the NBA on Friday for his comments about referee Bavetta after Thursday's game in San Antonio. But it's a small price to pay compared to Robert Horry's two-game suspension for his actions against Stackhouse.
Horry's suspension without pay was for making contact with a referee and for giving the appearance that he was going to bite Stackhouse's arm when the two were interlocked in a scramble under the basket.
"It's tough to come on the road in this environment and have to play agains the refs, too," Stackhouse said after Thursday's 98-89 loss to the Spurs. "[Expletive] Bavetta. I'm tired of his [expletive]. It's like the game is about him. He just needs to call the game and call the fouls.
"It's like he didn't because we were up and he wanted to see them [the Spurs] come back."
Stackhouse was not suspended. However, his foul on Horry has been upgraded to a flagrant-1, the league announced.
Horry will serve his suspension Saturday and Monday when the Spurs face Portland and the Los Angeles Lakers.
the league has to adress what was seen on TV and is being talked about by the media somehow even though he didn't actually bite him.
That would explain the wording.
If Duncan got a game for accidentally knocking over Emperor Palpatine then Horry definitely deserves two for JUST his contact with Baveta.
The only other thing I saw was the fake bite, and I'd ask for a pic of Stack's arm before suspending a guy for that. I suppose they don't even want to give anyone the idea.
The thing I like most about Stackhouse is that he was used by us to get Rip away from Washington and MJ.
I just realized in the replay that he didn't even bite Stackhouses arm it was Jason Terry's and if you watch closely Terry goes running towards his end of the court yelling and pointing like "He bit me! He bit me!"
Horry might have hurt his own case on the one, Stack didn't comment on it but Horry said he "thought about biting him".
Mark Cuban wins again.
Yeah, how great of a trade was that? Stackhouse has always had talent, which is why he always gets another shot. He just isn't a good teammate, he has no impulse control and he evaporates or implodes in big situations, whichever is more damaging.
I say we use the old Seifeldian proof of "the bite"...
Damn, I was within feet of that asswipe last night.
It was just a pat on the arm and Horry gets 2 games, Timmy bumped Ole Jack to the floor and got one... hmmmm
At his salary, what does 2 games cost Robert?
Someone photoshop Horry as a zombie!
A Land Rover
Not sure what game you were watching but in the game I was watching Horry grabbed the refs shoulder and gave him a little shake and as it was stated in an earlier post the league said it was for both contact with the ref and the altercation with Stack.It was just a pat on the arm and Horry gets 2 games, Timmy bumped Ole Jack to the floor and got one... hmmmm
Stackhouse went down a couple notches in my eyes many years ago when he punched out (black eye for Laettner) teammate Christian Laettner.

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) -- Detroit Pistons Christian Laettner and Jerry Stackhouse got into a fight aboard the team plane while returning from a game at Charlotte, a newspaper said Friday.
Team spokesman Matt Dobek Friday called the report a fabrication.
"I was on the plane and nothing happened," Dobek said.
According to the Detroit Free Press, Laettner and Stackhouse apparently were involved in a card game that got out of hand and threw punches before the scuffle was broken up.
"I couldn't believe it. I looked up and they were going at it, throwing blows. I wasn't about to get in the middle of it," one player who was not identified told the newspaper.
One unidentified source said the players were arguing over $2,000, and Stackhouse landed some blows to Laettner's face. The Pistons intend to ban card games on future flights, the Free Press said.

The contact with an official thing is weak. I've seen Horry put his arm around Bevetta before after a hard foul, and nothing came of it.
Pretty weak from the league as usual, although I'm glad to see Stack's foul upgraded to a flagrant.
This is too funny.
Who was it that got into a fight after the game with Snyder when he was with Utah last year?
Boooooooooooooooooo
