The ugly incidents entailed punishments.
Tonight (Monday through Tuesday) the NBA made a decision regarding LeBron James and Isaiah Stewart - the Lakers star received a suspension penalty from one game and a Detroit player - from two games.
As you may recall, on the night between Sunday and Monday, the two clashed during the game, when LeBron sent an elbow to Stuart's face, which caused the latter to bleed, run amok and be sent to the locker room.
The first of course was also removed and the criticisms after the violent events were really not spared.
And this is what happened on the parquet.

Now, the best league in the world has decided on the appropriate penalty for two.
LeBron will miss the game at Madison Square Garden against the New York Knicks while Stuart will not play against Miami and Milwaukee.
Detroit Pistons center Isaiah Stewart will be suspended two games for his role in the roughhousing with LeBron James on Sunday.
James was suspended one game.
