Phoenix Suns and Houston Rockets Fight | Steve Nash Scores From Half Court
by: Stuart

I catch the Phoenix Suns play whenever I can. I’m not huge fan of basketball but have been watching for the last couple of years.

Tonight was an exciting game in a few places.

The first clip is a brawl that started with Shaq and Nash jumping in and the second clip of Steve Nash scoring from behind half court before half time.

His basket got called back before the second half the ball had not left his hand before the bell but what a shot.

UPDATE: The NBA has suspended Steve Nash and Matt Barnes of Phoenix and Rafer Alston of Houston for their roles in a fight.

Alston and Barnes were suspended for two games without pay and Nash for one. The league also fined Shaquille O’Neal $35,000 and Tracy McGrady $25,000 on Friday for their actions during the Rockets’ 94-82 win in Phoenix on Wednesday.

Barnes knocked back Alston with his shoulder late in the third quarter, and Alston charged him. Nash ran in and was pushed back by McGrady, who was shoved down by O’Neal.

Nash was cited for “escalating the altercation.” He and Barnes will miss Friday’s game at Sacramento, and Barnes will sit Sunday against Detroit. Alston will miss games Friday against San Antonio and Saturday against New Orleans.
