Cup basketball match with Puerto Rico have been punished by the Chinese
Basketball Association (CBA).

| Officials from Chinese Basketball Association annouced
Thursday the handling of what Chinese media called a "night of
shame". |
A total of 16 people, including players and the team's Chinese administrators,
were on a list announced by the CBA on Thursday.
"The fighting of China's national basketball team on the night of July
29 during a Stankovic Cup match with Puerto Rico is a severe infringement of
game order, was of a malicious nature, and have had a bad influence and grave
result," CBA officials said at a press conference Thursday.
An open letter by China's national basketball team was also released via the media
yesterday, telling fans that their improper deeds "smirched the image of China's national team
and that of Beijing as the 2008 Olympics host."
