- NBA: With less than a minute to go in a game between the Indiana Pacers and the Detroit Pistons at The Palace of Auburn Hills in suburban Detroit, an on-court altercation (a.k.a. "The Auburn Hills Incident", etc.) between the teams over a foul degenerates into a massive brawl as Pacers players assault heckling Pistons fans. Several announcers call it the worst fight in recent basketball history. The game is called off, with the Pacers winning by default, 97–82. Numerous fines and player suspensions are expected.

Famous quotes containing the word november:
“During my administration the most unpleasant and perhaps most dramatic negotiations in which we participated were with the various leaders of Iran after the seizure of American hostages in November 1979. The Algerians were finally chosen as the only intermediaries who were considered trustworthy both by me and the Ayatollah Khomeini. After many aborted efforts, final success was achieved during my last few hours in the White House.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
