WNBA Reviews Fight Between Detroit, LA Players

NEW YORK (AP) ― The WNBA is watching replays of the skirmish involving the Detroit Shock, Los Angeles Sparks and former Pistons Bad Boy Rick Mahorn.

"The WNBA is reviewing the incident in its entirety," WNBA spokesman Ron Howard said Wednesday.

The melee at The Palace of Auburn Hills — also the site of the infamous brawl between the Detroit Pistons, Indiana Pacers and fans in 2004 — broke out Tuesday night with 4.6 seconds left in a game won by the Sparks.

Parker and Pierson got tangled up and fell to the court. Deanna Nolan tackled Parker and Mahorn appeared to push LA star Lisa Leslie to the court. DeLisha Milton-Jones responded by punching Mahorn in the back.
