Oh yeah, the Sixers won the game that night to clinch the Atlantic Division championship. Laimbeer and Barkley had to pay $20,000 fines and each sat out one game. In the end, fines were handed out to both teams, and to more than a dozen players. Charles Barkley, never one to back down from a skirmish, jumped in and the punches flew. In the waning seconds, notorious instigator Bill Laimbeer shoved a ball in his former teammate Rick Mahorn’s face. This was the Thump and Bump Sixers vs the Bad Boys Pistons. To Ainge’s credit, he stumbled but did not fall. On this night, Sedale Threatt decided he had enough of Ainge’s act and delivered an open-hand shot to Ainge’s face. Before he annoyed everyone as the Celtics president, Ainge annoyed everyone as a Celtics player. The Sixers/Celtics rivalry takes center stage again. A reasonable price to pay to not be punched by Moses Malone. Auerbach was later fined $2,500 for his action.
Legendary Celtics coach Red Auerbach, then the team’s top basketball executive stormed the court and had to be separated (for his own good) from Moses Malone. The two came together, were separated and eventually Bird made his way back to Iavaroni and landed a punch.
