NBA Playoffs 2012: Amar'e Punches Fire Extinguisher Following Loss to Heat

According to several New York beat writers and ESPN.com, Amar'e Stoudemire apparently lost his cool after the 104-94 loss to the Heat and took his aggression out in the visitors' locker room.

Frank Isola, beat writer for the New York Daily News reported:

"

It is confirmed. Amar'e suffered a lacerated hand punching something after the game

Soon after, Marc Berman of the New York Post clarified the altercation:

No question, this puts Stoudemire's availability for Game 3 in doubt. After another lackluster performance in Miami, this is the last thing the Knicks needed.

More details to come, but the initial prognosis doesn't look good.
