The Miami Heat suffered their second straight loss, after dropping the game vs the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday (118-104).
What highlighted the contest was the altercation between Erik Spoelstra, Jimmy Butler and Udonis Haslem during a timeout.
Things didn’t go out of control, the Heat made a wild comeback, but eventually lost the game. Golden State earned an impressive victory on the road, playing without Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green.

“It happens. Honestly, it’s not a moment of anything. For us, it’s guys who really want to win basketball games. It won’t. We have great leadership,” Kyle Lowry told reporters, including Hedgeout.net, afterwards.
“This is us at practice. It just so happened it boiled over to the court,” star big man Bam Adebayo noted.
The Heat dropped to 47-26, but remained on top of the East. However, they have three teams (Milwaukee Bucks, Philadelphia 76ers, Boston Celtics) just 1.5 games below them.
Miami still has the upper hand to finish on top of the Conference and will seek to return to the winning track in the home game vs the New York Knicks on Friday.
