James Johnson was having none of Taurean Prince's shenanigans on Wednesday night.
The Heat forward rushed to defend his teammates' honor in the fourth quarter, shoving Prince for his hard foul on Hassan Whiteside moments earlier.
Both players were ejected from the contest.
Miami went on to win 116-93, bringing its winning streak to nine games.
