NBA spokesman Tim Frank has said there would be no fines or suspensions for a Game 4 altercation that resulted in double technicals to both the Celtics and the Hawks, the Associated Press is reporting.

"The game's emotional for everyone," Celtics' Coach Doc Rivers said after the team's workout but before the league's decision was announced. "It's easy to say, 'Just step away.' We, as a team, have to stop putting the league in a position where they have to make a decision. That's on us; that's not on the league."

Kevin Garnett was particularly lucky to escape reprimand, after pushing referee Ed Rush when he tried to make peace between Garnett and Hawk Zaza Pachulia.

"The referee grabbed me," Garnett said.
