Punches were thrown and players for the Miami Heat and Toronto Raptors were ejected Tuesday night at the Air Canada Centre.
The Heat’s James Johnson, 30, and the Raptors’ Serge Ibaka, 28, came to blows with seven minutes and 50 seconds remaining in the third quarter. It started as both players were fighting for position in the paint away from the ball and hand-fighting began.
Johnson, listed at 6-8, 240, threw a strong forearm at Ibaka’s neck. The Raptors’ 6-10, 235-pound power forward then swung his right fist at Johnson. They were eventually separated.
