Heat guard Terry Rozier was about to throw the ball back into play from the sidelines. Herro and Thompson jostled for position with both players latching onto each other’s jerseys, and it exploded from there.

Thompson threw Herro to the floor and coaches and personnel from both teams tried to separate the two players.

After the dust cleared, Rockets players Thompson, Jalen Green, head coach Ime Udoka and assistant coach Ben Sullivan were ejected. Miami’s Herro and Rozier was also ejected from the game.

Miami won the game 104-100 to improve to 16-14 on the season. Houston fell to 21-11.

Herro suggested that the Rockets' poor shooting toward the end of the game ultimately frustrated Thompson.

"Guess that’s what’s happens when someone’s scoring, throwing dimes, doing the whole thing," he said. "I'd get mad, too."

Udoka said it came down to one person being stronger than the other.

"I didn’t see it live, but I re-watched it," he said. "They were in each other’s face, bumping chests a little bit, and one guy’s stronger than the other."

Herro led the Heat with 27 points. He added nine assists and six rebounds. Heat center Bam Adebayo had 12 points and 10 rebounds. Nikola Jokić added 18 points off of the bench.

Thompson had five points when he was ejected from the game to go along with five rebounds and five assists.

Dillon Brooks led Houston with 22 points. Alperen Sengun had 18 points and 18 rebounds.

The Rockets three-game winning streak came to an end on Tuesday night after Houston suffered a 120-111 loss to the Sacramento Kings in the NBA Cup. 

But much of the postgame conversation appeared to center around the fourth quarter ejection of second-year Rockets head coach Ime Udoka. Rockets forward Alperen Sengun was also thrown out of the game.

The coach and the player both appeared to be upset over the way the game was officiated, particularly the string of apparent missed calls on fouls committed against Sengun.

Udoka eventually directed his ire at referee John Goble, which led to the head coach's aforementioned ejection.

Although Udoka was disqualified from the game, he did not exit the court area quietly. A Rockets assistant had to step in between a visibly upset Udoka and the referee.

After the game, Udoka explained he took umbrage with the way the game was officiated.

"Missed calls, blatant missed calls right in front of you. You're calling ticky tack moving screens, little s--- like that, but you don't want to call the obvious ones right in front of you. That was it."

Udoka then shared some details on what he said during the exchange with the referee.

"Thought [Sengun] got fouled a few times on that drive and on the layup, and they don't want to call it. So I told him to get some f-----g glasses and open your eyes," Udoka said.

The Rockets entered Wednesday in second place in the Western Conference. Houston had won 10 of the last 12 games before Tuesday's loss.
