The punch had already been thrown, the fight broken up. Doug Christie was on one end of the floor shooting jumpers by himself when it was announced that he and Rick Fox had been ejected. Christie began to run back to the tunnel of the Staples Center when Bobby Jackson stopped him and told him to be careful because he saw Fox sprinting toward the locker room. Fox was looking for him. Christie slowed to a light jog so he could be more aware of his surroundings. That may not have prevented a cup of whiskey from pelting him in the face at the hands of a Los Angeles Lakers fan, but it did prepare him for what was coming at him at the entrance to the tunnel - Fox was rounding the corner and running right at him ready for a rematch.
