<p>Penalties are handed out.</p> <p>The NBA announced Thursday evening that <span>Rajon Rondo</span> has been suspended two games for fighting with <span>Kris Humphries</span> in the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.netsdaily.com/">Nets</a>' 95-83 win over the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.celticsblog.com/">Celtics</a> on Wednesday in Boston. In addition, the Nets' <span>Gerald Wallace</span> was fined $35,000 and the Celtics' <span>Kevin Garnett</span> was fined $25,000 "for escalating the altercation." Humphries received no penalty. Earlier in the day, Wallace received a warning from the same league office, claiming he flopped against <span>Carmelo Anthony</span> at the end of the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.postingandtoasting.com/">Knicks</a> game.</p>
<p>Rondo will miss games against Portland and Milwaukee.</p>
<p>When Billy King was asked about reports that <span>Jason Terry</span> and Kevin Garnett had criticized Humphries as a fake tough guy, he responded, "Kris is doing a great job for us, so I really could care less what the Celtics say about Kris. I just know what he does for us."</p>

<p>Who's got the best back page headline on last night's big brawl in Boston? We take a look and declare a winner.</p> <p>They're battling, the editors of New York's three tabloids. The Post, Daily News and Newsday all tried their best to get readers' attention Thursday with back page pictures and of course headlines.</p>
<p>The Post called it "a <a target="_blank" href="http://www.nypost.com/rw/nypost/2012/11/29/covers/back112912.jpg">DonnyBrook</a>" with "Donny" in white, "Brook" in black. Nice on the graphic use of black and white but who's Donny? Donny Marshall, the former Net and Celtic who made an <a target="_blank" href="http://www.csnne.com/basketball-boston-celtics/celtics-talk/Marshall-Rondos-shove-not-what-being-a-C?blockID=807435&feedID=10424">impassioned plea</a> about what being a Celtic is about. (not <span>Rajon Rondo</span>)? And we didn't see <span>Brook Lopez</span> anywhere near the brawl. Oh, "Brook" as in Brooklyn! Got it.</p>
<p>Newsday ran the same picture under the headline, "<a target="_blank" href="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/A83cJo1CQAACOJj.jpg">Beantown</a>," a reference to Boston's nickname...and what happened to Kris Humphries. Not bad. Beantown has often been used to describe the Red Sox. Do we have yet another rivalry between New York and Boston?! We like, we like.</p>
<p>But the winner is ... The Daily News with "<a target="_blank" href="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/A825qX-CMAEDEzH.jpg">Brooklyn Deckers</a>." It works on so many different levels, even if the Nets didn't "deck" anyone. Any time you can conjure up a <a target="_blank" href="http://textagirlguru.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/brooklyn-decker-86.jpg">Sports Illustrated swimsuit model</a> when thinking about your favorite team is a good time. "The fact that my name is associated with an nba brawl (in any sort of capacity) makes me happier than you can imagine," Decker later told the Daily News.</p>

<p>Beyond the newspapers, we saw a number of new nicknames for the guys from Brooklyn. There was most prominently, the Brooklyn Brawlers, which isn't a bad nickname. Others used on Twitter and elsewhere include Brooklyn BadBoyz, Brooklyn Battlers (no!), Crooklyn <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.netsdaily.com/">Nets</a>. Considering we saw more fight in this team than in any since before Kenyon Martin got his first neck tattoo, we'll take it.</p>

<p>The Nets have won four straight and are now 4-0 against the Atlantic Division.</p> <p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.netsdaily.com/">Nets</a>' wins just keep getting better and better. On Wednesday, they picked up their fourth straight victory and their second over the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.celticsblog.com/">Celtics</a>, 95-83 in Boston.</p>
<p>They took control with an 11-0 run spanning the first and second quarters and opened up a 21-point lead with 3 1/2 minutes to go in the half. They were up 16 with 39 seconds left in the half when a <span>Kris Humphries</span> foul on <span>Kevin Garnett</span> prompted <span>Rajon Rondo</span> to shove Humphries. After the altercation got ugly, <a href="http://www.netsdaily.com/2012/11/28/3704596/rajon-rondo-kris-humphries-and-gerald-wallace-ejected-after-nets" target="_blank">Rondo, Humphries and Gerald Wallace were all ejected</a>. Avery Johnson said he expects the league to rule on possible suspensions as early as Thursday.</p>
<p>After the game, Humphries <a target="_blank" href="http://lockerz.com/s/265000792">tweeted a picture</a> of the damage and asked, "Anyone know where I can quick get a Tetnis shot in Boston?" <a href="http://t.co/l3hKlh76" class="twitter-timeline-link" target="_blank" data-expanded-url="http://lockerz.com/s/265000792" title="http://lockerz.com/s/265000792" dir="ltr"><span class="js-display-url"></span></a></p>
<p>Despite the loss of two starters, the Nets kept the game under control in the third quarter. The Celtics got to within nine a couple of times in the fourth, but repeated big baskets from <span>Joe Johnson</span> and <span>Andray Blatche</span> kept them at bay. Here's <a target="_blank" href="http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/1805975/piercelol.gif">one</a> of those Joe Johnson baskets.</p>
<p>The Nets shot just 40 percent from the field, but grabbed 17 offensive rebounds and outscored the Celtics 30-3 from three-point range. Johnson (18), Blatche (17) and <span>Jerry Stackhouse</span> (17) were the high scorers. Stackhouse is 9-for-11 from downtown in the last two games.</p>
<p>Blatche (13), <span>Brook Lopez</span> (10) and <span>Reggie Evans</span> (10) each had double-digit rebounds, and <span>Deron Williams</span> added seven assists. Evans, the NBA leader in rebounds per 48 minutes, now has four straight games with more than 10 rebounds.</p>
<p>After the game, Avery Johnson, Williams and Blatche all remarked about the team's chemistry and their mental and physical toughness, two things that have been in short supply the last five years.</p>
<p>Other than Evans ("It's like a mosquito in your face. You're eventually going to swat at the mosquito, right?") the Nets didn't talk much about the brawl or only in general teams, On the other hand, Garnett and <span>Jason Terry</span> (of the losing team) decided to comment more fulsomely.</p>
<p>"Some guys are tough. Some guys pretend to be," said Terry of Humphries. "He's one of those that pretends to be. I know. I played with the guy." Garnett who was outplayed by Blatche noted, "This ain't the Girl Scouts. This ain't the Boy Scouts. This is the NBA."</p>

<p>Wait, they have to play another game?! The <a href="https://www.postingandtoasting.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Knicks</a> game wasn't the end of it all? Who knew? Well, it's true, the Nets travel to Boston for a big game in the division and conference. The Nets want to pick up as many tie-breakers as they can. The Celtics are currently 8-6, two games back of the Nets. Both teams are on short winning streaks, Brooklyn three and Boston two.</p>
<p>The Nets defeated the Celtics on November 15 without <span>Rajon Rondo</span>. This time, they will have Rondo and everyone but <span>Avery Bradley</span> who still hasn't played this season. Since that game, the Celtics still have the same strengths and weaknesses. They are still 30th in rebounding and second in assists and they are still 22nd in points allowed. <span>Kevin Garnett</span> is still averaging fewer than 30 minutes per game but expect a lot more post-ups with Rondo on the court. Rondo has a chance to make a little bit of history Wednesday night. He is is currently tied with John Stockton for most consecutive games with 10 or more assists at 37 <a href="https://www.orlandopinstripedpost.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Magic</a> Johnson holds the record with 46.</p>
<p>For the Nets, it will be a chance to run their winning streak to four and improve their road record. While they're 7-1 at home, they're only 2-3 away from Barclays Center. Other than Tornike Shengelia's thumb sprain and assorted nicks, aches and pains, they remain healthy.</p>
