Lance Stephenson's late layup in rout of Raptors sparks scuffle

Indiana's 108-90 victory over the Toronto Raptors Tuesday night was marred by a heated confrontation between the Pacers' Lance Stephenson and DeMar DeRozan with 3.3 seconds left.

The shoving match broke out when tempers flared between Stephenson and DeRozan after the Raptors guard took issue with Stephenson's layup at the every end of the Pacers' runaway win over their Eastern Conference rival.

Stephenson was faced down by DeRozan and several Raptors players after putting up the layup as time expired instead of just holding onto the ball and walking off the floor, which seemed to break one of basketball's cardinal rules.
