The Miami Heat's franchise-record 15th straight victory was marred by a fourth-quarter altercation between Ray Allen and Minnesota's J.J. Barea, which led to an ejection and plenty of jawing.
With the Heat leading 76-70, Allen tried backing Barea down on the perimeter. The Heat veteran appeared to push the diminutive T-Wolves guard to get some separation. When Allen drove to the basket, Barea went right back at him, knocking him to the ground. A foul was called but one of the NBA TV announcers called it "a semi-flop by Ray Allen."
Allen got up and tried to confront Barea, only to be held back by Dwyane Wade and a couple of officials. Barea was charged with a flagrant foul type 2, which results in an ejection. As Barea walked off the court, he and Allen continued to jaw at each other.
