Andersen knocked Hansbrough to the floor from behind with 9:02 left in the second quarter, then shoved him backward after Hansbrough got up. The NBA also says Friday in a statement that Andersen "resisted efforts to bring the altercation to an end."

And Hansbrough's T was rescinded. The right decision was (eventually) made, IMO. Watching this in a restaurant last night, I thought it was a horrible decision, especially with video available to get it right the first time.
