Miami: Wow, things really got wild during the game between the Heat and Rockets. It was a nail-biter, and then bam! A fight broke out in the last minute.
So, there were six players tossed out when the Heat were leading 99-94. It all kicked off when Amen Thompson decided to guard Tyler Herro. Next thing you know, Thompson threw Herro to the ground, and chaos ensued.
After the refs reviewed the footage, they ejected four players: Herro, Thompson, Terry Rozier, and Jalen Green. Plus, both the Rockets’ head coach Ime Udoka and assistant coach Ben Sullivan were sent packing too.
Just a few days earlier, the NBA had already handed out suspensions for another fight between the Suns and Mavericks. So, we might see similar penalties here.
Herro had a solid game, scoring 27 points and dishing out nine assists, helping Miami secure a 104-100 victory. He joked about the situation, saying, “I guess that’s what happens when someone is scoring, throwing dimes, doing the whole thing. I’d get mad, too.”
