Nope. Hinrich sees Hughes coming in attack mode, so Hinrich turns to face Hughes, expecting a punch at any moment (I'd say there's a 99.9% chance that Hinrich knows nothing about throwin down). Jarvis Hayes (#24, Wizards) then holds back Hinrich, almost as if to protct him from Hughes. Hinrich didn't "take off". However, he did kind of pull a "You're lucky my boy is holding me back!" move, except his boy was on the other team.
Haywood didn't get ejected? How stupid is that? After Heinrich first gets in Hughes's face, Haywood just walks over and shoves Heinrich. Then the sucker punch of AD with the ref in the middle. I can't believe Haywood didn't get ejected.
Anyone who wants to piss off Antonio Davis is just plain dumb. Look at the cannons on his arms. That is an internal-damage-to-the-organ type hit.
NBA fights are fun to watch and all, but these guys could seriously kill each other accidentally. I always think of Rudy T and "The Punch" when I see photos like that.
Actually, by the stats, it looks like Haywood put a beating on Curry. Maybe thats why Curry wanted to get the cheap shot in.
BTW ....according to ESPN, the suspensions were handed out today: Haywood - 3 games Curry - 2 games Davis - 2 games Hughes - 1 game Hinrich - 10,000 fine
