I'm mostly referring to the steal in the dying seconds. I assume De Sousa's aggression was triggered by this.

If the commentators were correct, the rule change that all games must complete the full 40 minutes (plus OT) is due to gambling. Another reason those unwritten rules should be disregarded. Playing hard to the final buzzer is actually being respectful of the opponent and in the spirit of competition.

Was it just that they took umbrage at him stepping over the guy he'd blocked?

Was the blocker from the winning team or losing team?

There was like 1 second left. Can't understand why they even came back to shoot that free throw.

So that brawl ended up with just 2 free-throws plus possession? Were there lots of techs that cancelled each other out?

Recently read this intriguing article:

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/511474-dunking-it-is-time-to-make-the-dunk-shot-count-as-four-points-instead-of-two

In basketball, the dunk has been around for a long time. It is a foregone conclusion that teams gain important momentum after the execution of a successful dunk shot.

I am hoping that the rules committees in the NBA and NCAA will read this and consider tweaking the current scoring system just a little by making a dunk worth four points instead of two. This would take basketball to another level.

Please hear me out...
