"I witnessed my wife being threatened by a man that I learned later to be intoxicated," Davis said in a statement issued after the game. "I saw him touch her, and I know I should not have acted the way I did, but I would have felt terrible if I didn't react. There was no time to call security. It happened too quickly."

Davis was ejected as per NBA rules, and faces suspensions, he is also president of the NBA player’s association. CNN has video of this and he ran into the stands as “professional” as he could be, no attitude, no shoving he just went to his wife and made sure she was ok.

I am not 100% certain, but there is a large guy sitting next to where Davis is (gray/black sweater I think) and he loses all color in his face when he sees Davis and from the angle Davis is staring I am thinking this is the guy, as soon as Davis turns his back the guy of course talks shit. But this is just more proof the NBA needs better security and they need better control on the alcohol, it is only a matter of time we have another brawl.
