Heat's Josh Richardson throws shoe into stands in loss, ejected

MIAMI -- Miami's Josh Richardson lost his temper and then his shoe as the Heat guard flung his sneaker into the stands in disgust before being ejected from Sunday's 113-97 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers.

With 6:31 remaining in the fourth quarter, Richardson hit the floor underneath the Heat basket. His shoe had come off and Richardson seemed upset under the basket.

As play resumed down the court, Richardson lost his cool. When Miami coach Erik Spoelstra motioned for Richardson to head to the bench, Richardson flung his shoe into the stands.
