Miami: So, there was quite a scene during the game between the Heat and the Rockets. Amen Thompson from Houston and Terry Rozier from Miami both got suspended after a fight broke out.
It all started when Thompson threw Tyler Herro to the ground, which really kicked things off. He got a two-game suspension for that, while Rozier got one game for jumping in and escalating the situation.
Other players also faced fines. Jalen Green from the Rockets was fined $35,000, and Herro got hit with a $25,000 fine. But the biggest fine went to coach Ime Udoka, who was fined $50,000 for yelling at the refs and not leaving the court quickly after being ejected.
This all went down in the last minute of the game, which the Heat won. Afterward, Herro joked about it, saying, “Guess that’s what happens when someone’s scoring, throwing dimes, doing the whole thing. I’d get mad, too.” Udoka added that things got heated, with players bumping chests. It seems like NBA Twitter mostly agreed with him, but Herro was just happy to get the win.
