We wondered what the NBA was going to do with David Vanterpool, Steve Nash’s assistant who intercepted a Wizards pass in the middle of the game, without the referees reacting…
It must be said that the action, which had legitimately triggered the anger of the Wizards (especially since the match was played on one point), is “exceptional”, in the sense that there is no real precedent. But the league avoided the suspensions, instead fining David Vanterpool $10,000 and the Nets $25,000.
