Yet again, the Palace at Auburn Hills was the site of a basketball brawl that left the sport in disarray following the fight. But this time, it was within the Women’s National Basketball Association - the Detroit Shock and the Los Angeles Sparks.

Does it take a fight to make the WNBA relevant? I think so. In the closing seconds of the game, LA Sparks’ Candance Parker leg sweeps someone from the Detroit Shock and a pileup ensues.
