The NBA handed down its discipline in the wake of the New York Knicks-Memphis Grizzlies melee and Elfrid Payton was hit hardest.
A blowout loss turned ugly on Wednesday night in Madison Square Garden. The Memphis Grizzlies were torching the New York Knicks when Jae Crowder broke an unwritten rule by stealing the ball and chucking up a quick three in the final minute. Elfrid Payton responded by shoving Crowder into a row of empty seats, sparking a scuffle between the two teams.
The NBA fined and suspended Payton one game for his role in the altercation.
