While the receiving player bled out of his face, the King came after him in a fury.
Many people took as a cheap shot the fact that the Pistons big man was nicked in the eye by the Lakers star while he was trying to box out IS.
Stewart fell after the elbow to the dome, but he was back up to his feet in a matter of seconds, and started to tussle with the other player.
It became clear very quickly that Stewart wasn't over the incident, and was ready to get into a full-blown melee. It took a couple different times to restrain him.
Stewart was dragged into the locker room tunnel by his teammates and coaching staff, but he broke away from them and headed for the other side.
It made for a scary scene and had strong Malice at the Palace vibes, something no one wants to recreate.
The view from the crowd was insane, as you could see Stewart trying to get to LBJ. The seriousness of the situation was shown by the fact that the people were told to stay in their seats.
Stewart was thrown out, as was LeBron, who was rung up for a foul. The Lakers are on the Pistons' tails with a few minutes to go.
