NBA Playoffs: Spurs vs. Suns

Tonight the Pheonix Suns fought their way back from a 2nd half deficit to win game 4 of the series to tie the series 2-2.
The win was huge, as I don't think they would have been able to come back from a 3-1 deficit to the Spurs for the series.

However, there may be a problem, as near the end of the game, Robert Horry threw an elbow that leveled Steve Nash. Naturally, the Suns players weren't happy...
Boris Diaw and Amare Stoudemire got up off the bench and started to move towards a scuffle on the floor, but then were stopped and went back to the bench.
Unfortunately, the ruling in the NBA is that if you leave the bench and go to the floor during a fight, you will be suspended.
I understand the rule, but I think it would be extremely unfair for the Suns to the lose these 2 players in this crucial game 5.
It would simply not be fair, the reaction is understandable, yet they did not engage any other players on the floor. Had they, it would be an obvious suspention, but they did not.

Keep em in the game, David Stern.
