Sometimes when NBA games are tense, fights break out among fans. While most sports franchises have rowdy fans at times, when that rowdiness turns into violence, it becomes a problem for others who are around.
During Game 6 of the Phoenix Suns – Los Angeles Clippers series, a fight broke out among fans. The video pictured a fan in a black shirt getting beat up by fans with Los Angeles Clippers gear. While violence is obviously unacceptable, the video went viral, and many fans reacted to the fight video and commented about the circumstances.

There is no question that violence from fans brings bad attention to the game of basketball. Violence between Clippers and Suns fans has happened before within the series, as there was a fight after Game 1 between the two fanbases. Hopefully, further violence can be avoided in the future. While bad fan behavior has been on the rise during these playoffs, the NBA does a generally good job of dealing with fan incidents, and hopefully, there will be some sort of solution to that problem.
