The WNBA doesn’t garner much attention. But this will certainly be featured everywhere . The Detroit Shock and Los Angeles Sparks saw spars fly at the end of their game on Tuesday night.

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.
