Ron Artest in his number 91 jersey has a fantastic offensive showing versus the Philadelphia 76ers this night, finishing with 29 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists, on 10 of 15 shooting and a perfect 6 for 6 from the free throw line. A week later, a Pistons fan would throw a cup at Artest while he was lying on the scorer's table in Detroit, starting an alll out brawl that isbest known as the Malice at the Palace. Artest was suspended for the rest of 2004-05 season, missing 86 games, the longest suspension for an on-court incident in NBA history. Artest never fully recovered in Indiana from the incident, and was traded to the Sacramento Kings 16 games into the 05-06 season.
