November 19th, 2004….one of the ugliest nights in sports history took place at the Palace of Auburn Hills in a nationally-televised regular season matchup between the Indiana Pacers and Detroit Pistons. The game would be later headlined as the “Malice at the Palace” that, long story short, featured a $50 bet between buddies resulting in Ron Artest wanting to fight any Pistons fan he could get his hands on. Now, that night is going to be featured as part of a Netflix docuseries called “Untold” on August 10th. The 80-minute episode will feature never-before-seen footage of the incident and interviews with the people who were involved in the melee.
