The Chinese Basketball Association has postponed Game 5 of the semifinals between Beijing and Shanxi and Game 1 of the Finals, originally scheduled for Friday March 16, due to yet another high-profile altercation.

According to reports, tempers flared at the end of a tense Game 4 between Beijing and Shanxi, with Shanxi supporters reportedly throwing debris and water bottles onto the court and preventing the Beijing team from leaving the arena after the game.

A newspaper photograph showed Shanxi fans pounding on the windows of the Beijing team van.
