Paul George put together an incredible fourth quarter for the Indiana Pacers, scoring 21 straight to lift the Pacers to a 94-82 win over the Detroit Pistons. It was a great finish, but he let his emotions get the best of him here when he made an unnecessary steal attempt with three seconds left and the Pacers up by a dozen.

— Steve Noah (@Steve_OS) January 3, 2016 Since the game was over, the Pacers and Pistons who left the bench to join this fracas likely won’t be suspended, but it wouldn’t be surprising to see George and/or Morris get at least a fine for their involvement here, especially on a night where OJ Mayo has gotten himself in trouble for blowing a gasket after getting ejected.
