From there, mass chaos ensued. Heat guard Terry Rozier went at Thompson to retaliate, taking him to the ground. As players and coaches tried to break up the madness, Thompson and Herro continued to yell at one another as Thompson was pulled away.

That’s when the defining moment of the night happened, as Rockets forward Amen Thompson and Heat guard Tyler Herro sparked a melee that led to six ejections before the Heat escaped with a gutsy 104-100 road victory. “Just two competitors going at it, playing basketball,” Herro said, downplaying the incident.

Tyler Herro scored 27 points before being one of being one of seven people ejected, six for their roles in a fight in the final minute of the Miami Heat’s 104-100 victory over the Houston Rockets on Sunday night.
