Martin didn’t like hearing that, so he stood over Koloko from Toronto Raptors and made a scary face. When Koloko got up off the floor and wrapped his arms around Martin. The Heat forward went right into a form tackle that put both players in the first couple of rows of the stands. Several players from both teams chased after the two, making quite a scene.
After a review by the officials, Martin was given a personal foul, and both he and Koloko from Toronto Raptors were given technical fouls and kicked out of the game. On that play, no other player was given a penalty.
In the NBA, things like this happen sometimes, but this one was especially scary because it went into the stands. You never want to see fans put in danger because of a fight between players. But it looks like no one was hurt in the fight. Toronto Raptors and Miami Heat can move on from this fight now that the league has decided what to do about what happened.
