The Spurs Are Dirty

After the league let Bruce Bowen off the hook for kneeing Steve Nash in the nuts, the Spurs took another liberty in Game 4.
With the game basically over the Spurs had to foul, so instead of going for the ball, Robert Horry just lowered his shoulder into Steve Nash and sent him flying into the press table.







Needless to say this resulted in a little bit of a fracas. Problem is Amare Stoudemire stepped out of the bench area during it.

The NBA's rule that bit the Knicks several years ago states:
"During an altercation, all players not participating in the game must remain in the immediate vicinity of their bench. Violators will be suspended, without pay, for a minimum of one game and fined up to $35,000. The suspensions will commence prior to the start of their next game."

I think they can give the Suns some leeway because Amare did technically stepped past the bench line, but it can be argued that he was still in the vicinity of the bench.

I don't know why Robert Horry would resort to such harsh tactics. He should have just waited until the next game and hit a big 3 in overtime like he normally does.
