Timeline of the Pacers-Pistons brawl

• Indiana's Ron Artest fouled Detroit's Ben Wallace when he went in for a layup with 45.9 seconds left and the Pacers leading 97-82.

• Wallace wheeled around and delivered a hard, two-handed shove to Artest's chin, which led to pushing and shoving with several players near midcourt.

• Artest lay on the scorer's table with his hands behind his head. Wallace tried to get at Artest but was held back by teammates and coaches.

• As players shouted at each other, Wallace threw a wristband toward Artest, who stood up briefly before lying back down on the table.

• An unidentified fan near midcourt hit Artest with a cup filled with ice and a beverage.

• Artest stormed into the stands and attacked a fan he thought hurled the cup at him.

• Indiana's Stephen Jackson joined his teammate in the seats and started throwing punches. Some fans also punched the players.

• David Harrison, Eddie Gill and Fred Jones of the Pacers, Detroit's Rasheed Wallace and former Piston Rick Mahorn tried to break up the fight.

• Back on the court near Indiana's bench, Artest punched a fan wearing a Pistons jersey who walked toward him. After another fan tried to tackle Artest and was trying to stand up, Jermaine O'Neal ran toward him and punched him in the face.

• Pacers players and coaches left the floor and were pelted with beer, popcorn, a folding chair and other items.

• Indiana's Jamaal Tinsley tried to go back on the court, holding a metal dustpan over his head before being turned back to the locker room.
