Boston Celtic’s Kevin Garnett got into game which should not be played
in the field. He had slapped Milwaukee’s Australian centre Andrew
Bogut. Incident took place during the fourth quarter of the game.
Accidentally, Bogut’s arm touched Garnet’s face and Garnet slapped in
return. NBA took serious view of the incident and banned him for one
game. Such incidents are viewed not as part of game. Viewers who
support these teams feel that this is not the game. NBA needs to do
more to restrain the behavior of the players on the field. NBA
policies do not accept unexpected violent outburst of anger in any
form. Despite fines and penalties, not only players but also game
officials face wrath of players.
