Tempers boiled over after the Miami Heat squandered a 24-point halftime lead Wednesday night at the TD Center.
After being shelled in the first half, the Boston Celtics held Miami to a franchise-low five points on 2-of-20 shooting in the third quarter. Frustrated with the team's malaise, Heat guard Goran Dragic confronted Celtics guard Marcus Smart after he was bumped while trying to crash for an offensive rebound.
Dragic and Smart both earned technical fouls, while Evan Turner and Udonis Haslem also earned technicals for getting involved in the scuffle.
