Stephen Curry Attacks The Foot-Taller Roy Hibbert In Crazy NBA Brawl

1. Late in Tuesday's Pacers-Warriors game in Indiana, Roy Hibbert roughly posted up on David Lee in the paint.

2. Lee didn't take kindly to that, and he gave Hibbert a nice shove to show his displeasure. Then Hibbert shoved back, and it was all downhill from there.

3. It didn't take long for all 10 players to collapse on Lee and Hibbert. And the 6'3" Stephen Curry decided it was a good idea to grab on to the 7'2" Roy Hibbert. It did not end well.

5. Curry went at Hibbert again. Reminder: Roy Hibbert is 11 inches taller and 95 pounds heavier than Stephen Curry. Hibbert brushes him off like dandruff.

Watching this, you can't help but think back to the Malice at the Palace, when Pacers players had altercations with fans in the Pistons' arena in Michigan. This time, though, it happened in Indiana, and fans weren't directly involved in the conflict.

10. Check out the video of the whole thing, plus aftermath, below. You can hear and see the refs rewatching the fight and discussing who should be called for what, which is very cool.
