Suspensions and fights are always bound to catch headlines in the NBA, and that was no different on Saturday night when New Orleans Pelicans guard Jose Alvarado and Phoenix Suns center Mark Williams exchanged a few punches during a scuffle.

Not only did both players connect on punches thrown, but on Sunday, the NBA released the full slate of punishments for the two players, which included a two-game suspension for Alvarado and one for Williams; however, the Dallas Mavericks got caught in the crossfire.
