Charles Barkley Ready to Fight Warriors Fans After They Throw Things at Him

The Golden State Warriors clinched a spot in the NBA Finals Thursday night with a 120-110 win over the Dallas Mavericks in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals. After the game, Warriors fans were feeling themselves and continued to antagonize Charles Barkley, as they had all series. This time they wound up throwing things at Barkley and the rest of TNT's Inside the NBA crew. Barkley was not happy.
