MSG has long had a contentious relationship with Knicks legend Charles Oakley. Those problems — whatever they are — spilled over into physical violence in the stands during Wednesday night’s Knicks-Clippers game.
OK, so we don’t have all the info here, obviously, but there have been a few reports from people at the scene. Apparently the fracas erupted between Oakley and MSG security a few feet from owner James Dolan.

The former Knick was rushed away by security and handcuffed, and team president Phil Jackson tried to calm him down in the tunnel:
Oakley with cuffs on yelling that this 'is bull shit, Dolan did this.
