NEW YORK (AP) – Orlando guard Keyon Dooling was suspended for five games without pay and Seattle guard Ray Allen three for fighting during Wednesday’s game, the NBA announced Friday.

Dooling and Allen were ejected during the second quarter of the SuperSonics’ 113-104 win after Dooling went running at Allen and pushed him to the ground. Allen got up and tackled Dooling into the first row of seats along the sideline and onto some fans.

The two briefly scuffled and television replays showed Dooling throwing a punch at Allen that did not connect. The two were eventually separated, with Orlando’s Stacey Augmon pulling Allen away from Dooling.

Underneath the stands, Dooling briefly ran toward the Sonics locker room and was seen yelling at Allen, but team officials and police kept the two apart.

Allen had caught a glancing blow across the chin from Dooling on an earlier rebound, and appeared to elbow the Magic guard before the fight occurred.

The NBA said Dooling got five games for “fighting with and attempting to confront Seattle SuperSonics guard Ray Allen in the hallway following his ejection.”

Dooling will start his suspension Friday night when the Magic visit the Portland Trail Blazers. Allen will also begin serving his suspension Friday when the SuperSonics host the Miami Heat.

At Orlando’s shootaround Friday morning at Portland’s Rose Garden Arena, Dooling acknowledged he was wrong, especially for the confrontation after leaving the court.

“I deserve that, bottom line,” he said.
