On November 19, 2004, the NBA was changed forever. The Malice at the Palace, one of the most infamous fights in sports history, occurred at the Palace of Auburn Hills in the final minute of a midseason battle between the Indiana Pacers and Detroit Pistons. The event is so notorious it's become commonplace in sports culture and its effects can be felt even today.
With the Malice at the Palace turning 20 years old, it felt like the perfect time to look back on how everything went down and the long-lasting butterfly effects stemming from that fateful evening in Auburn Hills, Mich.
