"Just two competitors going at it, playing basketball," Herro said, downplaying the incident. It encapsulated the competitive spirit both players exhibited throughout the game.
"I didn't see it live, but I rewatched it," Rockets coach Ime Udoka said. "And they were in each other's face, bumping chest a little bit, and one guy is stronger than the other." This comment highlights the physicality and intensity of the game.
"I don't think anything during the course of the game would indicate that it would go to that," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said, reflecting the unexpected nature of the altercation given the game's flow.
