NBA HEATED Moments

They shot lights out for three in that one

Yellen Green just turned around, knocked it down, and now Plumlee and Adams get locked up with one another

That's the last guy you want. He takes it down. And Plumlee ends up on top of Steven Adams. It's like a sumo wrestling match out there

Shaking up. Those two going at it. And Steven turns. You see that arm locked

And Steven says, I can lock my arms. Let me go. Get off me. Now, I'm not letting you off

And there goes the bear hug. And both guys, though, ejected from the game

I'll be honest. You see things like this in practice all the time. That's just old school basketball

Oh, wow. Yeah, two offensive fouls on Nurkic. He got his left arm up high against Gafford

Oh, my goodness. Oh, oh. Najee Marshall and Yusuf Nurkic. There probably are going to be ejections

There might be a suspension moving forward. Oh, a slap here. Then a punch

And a punch. And the unfortunate thing is that, I mean, it's in the rule book

That any punch is an ejection. Yes, it's an automatic ejection. Let's see what the... Uh-oh. Uh-oh

A fight! A fight! And then Thompson, Jalen Green, and Tyler Hero all involved

Madness on the floor here in Houston. Thompson went after Tyler Hero

He'd having to be restrained. Hero looks hurt. No, Hero's okay. Wow watch how it erupts the bump between hero and a man Thompson and then watch

what Thompson does a bizarre finish to this game well they're gonna have to review this that

play right there the toss that's a flagrant two is absolutely a flagrant

two and mayhem occurs DeVincenzo disrespected Fantechio picks up the offensive foul

and now again a shoving match once again Stewart it too bad because he That so many positive things out Holland was a really good high school player good free turn the corner and is fouled by Holland

Man, oh come on now Devin Big time brawl now in the front row. It's gonna take a lot to break this up

You gotta stay out of the crowd This is not good This has been building

On the last handful of possessions Again, this looks like a regular foul by Holland

But Nas Reed Plays under review for an altercation Wagon his finger

Holland pushing the Vincenzo So they get tied up Bando push them then so hand through the ball at him. Here we go. Yes the first five

There's the foul. Right now. And then there's the push, and there's the throw, and then there's a two-hand shot

Further review for a player altercation. I was going to say, the foul, then the first push and the throw

they weren't anything, but then Vanda went in for more. No good

Offensive rebound. Chris Paul, three. Too strong. And now Sona. And McDaniels getting tied up

A scuffle for the second straight night. No one's leaving the bench

either way. And they'll settle this down, but... Reeves to James. Kicks it underneath

Spurs deny that one. Back up. On the deck. And hold on

Oh, my. Are we kidding? Oh, got players off the bench. Here we go

Oh, he's bleeding, too. Got a lot of blood. A lot of blood on Westbrook

and he tries to grab his arms. See what happens Oh that Where the blood coming in Is it fingernail No that a gash No but I saying how though With that elbow That elbow popped in

I'm sure that elbow just popped his forehead. Right open. Right elbow

There's the elbow. Blocked there. That's it. I think any player would get up and react that way

if they got popped in the head and they started bleeding. It's a hard foul

And, yeah, he catches him with the elbow, but I can see him lead with the elbow. And as awful as the blood looks

the fact that he's bleeding isn't necessarily the reason to call it a flagrant foul. Exactly

Even though it looks awful. It looks bad, right. It looks like a lot

Explaining it to Pop. As Collins exits the arena. The rising ovation from the Spurs fans supporting him

And the cat calls from the... When this is a rear... Oh, there's some words between Butler and Warren

They have to be separated. It wasn't just words. There was about to be more than this

This was going to be more than that. I don't think... I mean..

Jimmy Butler with all the smiles because the Heat have a 23-point lead, and that's on Butler

See, and now he's got to watch. He just got technical and thrown out. They just threw him out

They just threw him out because T.J. Ward. Indeed. Smart goes for the foul

Goes for the ball and gets the foul. Okay, hold on one second, though. Why is he not entitled to that basketball as much as Joel

Knock the ball out of him, beats hands before he hit his arm

That's a very good point. Oh Marcus smart and Embiid and beats going right back at him

That's gonna get smart tossed yeah left arm left arm the elbow he elbows him no Fitzgerald

Now the officials when they look at this play With this type of altercation they can look at things that led up to it and make calls accordingly

Wow, how about Embiid the double, helping Simmons with Towns

Here's Horford, blocked on the play. Wow, and look at this, whoa

Embiid going at it with Carl Anthony Towns. And the bench is empty, my goodness

What is going on the neck Towns is hot And Bede is up

He's in front of his bench. And I don't know what precipitated this, but you have to think both players are going to be sent off

See Green and Isaiah Thomas about to go at him. Now Cooper stepping in Mahorn's face

Well, there was no reason to do that because first of all, A.C. Green almost started to laugh at Isaiah after they said a couple of words because he knew that there was no way anything was going to happen

And Rick Fahorn trying to protect his little teammate was the one that caused more of a problem

Well, watch the play again. There's the cut through on the basket as Thompson isn't able to control it to get the layup

A.C. Green going in there, getting bumped and fouled from behind. And now here he fights with Isaiah

and now Isaiah and he'll start to say, now watch A.C.'s reaction. There's Mahorn stepping in

and now Cooper goes to push him off, grabs him around the neck. Now there's where Cooper made the mistake

and Mahorn a little bit upset by that. So that's where Rick Mahorn really was upset

But again, he was stepping in initially to protect Isaiah Thomas. But I was watching the face of A.C. Green

He really did start almost to laugh at Isaiah after he started talking to him. Happy Valentine's Day

love abounding here in the City of Angels. Michael Cooper was noticing the choking action on the part of Isaiah Thomas that time in that ballgame when Isaiah

Drafty's one of the assistants the bad boys the Detroit Pistons they have their

1989 calendar built right and here's what the physical play Kareem stepping in there and throwing an elbow out and nailing Danny Ainge

Miss Johnson with an air ball one pass and a shot But any time you swing an elbow, that's an automatic technical foul

And the official, as a matter of fact, has the option to throw someone out in that type of situation

Larry Bird makes the technical, no personal, just a technical foul. And there's Kareem, who'll be 41 years old in April and plays more of a role against the Celtics because he's highly motivated against them

looks over to Ewing, finds a wide open. Oh, a hard foul given by Oakley

Crowd wants a flagrant. Now, if he takes his arms and brings the body down to the floor

then the official could interpret that, not only award him the two shots

but the ball back out of bounds if the official felt it was a flagrant foul

Obviously, no flagrant foul was called. He'll just shoot the two free throws
