This ain't rugby. It ain't boxing. You've got to protect yourself when someone throws an elbow for no reason. He took me down in Dallas and I threatened him. I don't know how he lives with himself.

What followed was no less chaotic, with the game delayed nearly 15 minutes as the referees tried to figure out who was on the floor at the time of the brawl - and thereby eligible to shoot free throws. Each team was assessed a two-shot technical foul,but the madness even included the Mavericks' Hubert Davis making the first of two free throws before being pulled off the line. Houston native Damon Jones, the Maverick actually picked to shoot by the Rockets, replaced Davis and wound up missing the first of two free throws. The visitors gradually faded from there, wasting Michael Finley's 35 points and nine assists. The loss was the Mavericks' first in April after a 5-0 start.
