Well, Sunday’s four-point win on the road for the Miami Heat over the Houston Rockets ended with some serious spice to it!
With 35.7 seconds left during a sideline out-of-bounds play, Heat guard Tyler Herro and Rockets wing Amen Thompson got into a scuffle with Thompson tossing Herro to the ground after both players were face-to-face grabbing each other’s jerseys.
Here is the full video of the exchange:
As a result of the scuffle, six individuals–Thompson, Herro, Terry Rozier, Jalen Green, Ime Udoka and Ben Sullivan–were all ejected. Fred VanVleet was also ejected just moments before, though it was unrelated to the aforementioned altercation.
At the time of this publishing, it doesn’t appear that any players or staff members were injured as a result of the fight. It’s safe to say that Thompson, Herro and Rozier could all receive hefty fines, and possibly be suspended.
The Heat ultimately won the game 104-100, their ninth-straight win over Houston. Herro led the way with 27 points, six rebounds and nine assists in the winning effort, getting the last laugh.
