Three technical fouls called after Marcus Morris-Larry Nance scuffle

BOSTON -- Tempers flared in the second quarter of Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics, resulting in three technical fouls being doled out.

With 10:47 remaining in the second and the Celtics leading 36-19, Boston forward Marcus Morris broke up a lob pass from LeBron James to Larry Nance Jr., tipping the ball out of bounds and causing Nance to hurtle to the floor.

While Nance was getting up, Morris appeared to stand over him and say something. Nance sprung to his feet and pushed Morris in the back.
