PHILADELPHIA -- Stan Van Gundy was livid. His team was losing -- very, very badly -- and he was just assesed a techincal foul. The Pistons coach stomped up the sideline to give the official a piece of his mind.
Along the way, he passed prominent film director M. Night Shayamalan, a Philadelphia native best known for a career of movies littered with plot twists.
Entering Friday night, the Pistons were sixth in the Eastern Conference standings. The Sixers were in ninth, on the bubble, on the outside looking in.
By the time Van Gundy was T'd up, the Sixers were up by 30 points.
