Suns-Heat was already a bit chippy, but things got real when Alex Len didn't like the manner in which Hassan Whiteside dunked on him.
Hassan Whiteside and Alex Len ejected for wrestling after big dunk
Len gave Whiteside a push after he landed on top of him, and Whiteside retaliated with an NFL form tackle, going after Len’s legs and grappling both of them to the ground. Teammates crowded the scene and the two were eventually separated, with minimal spillover and no participants coming off the bench.
Whiteside and Len were both ejected for the fight.
Whiteside, post-game:
Whiteside acknowledges he should've restrained himself but says Len was mad "because I just kept dunking on him."
