Nobody Punished in Hawks-Celtics Incident

04.30.2008 - Updated on 04.30.2008

Williams and Celtics center Kendrick Perkins both admitted stepping onto the floor to see what was happening — a no-no in the NBA, especially with commissioner David Stern in the crowd. But they were not punished under the rule designed to keep incidents from escalating into bench-clearing brawls.

"Technically, I broke the rule," Williams said. "But I had no intentions of doing anything on the court. I was just trying to see what was going on." [ESPN]

wow...i dont want to see a playoff series ruined, but as a Suns fan i find this infuriating, i expected the league to suspend them considering the way they suspended much better players in Stoudemire and Diaw, i guess the question will always be.."what if??" .
