To stop a fastbreak in the middle of the second quarter, Jermaine O'Neal threw his body in front of LeBron James. Unhappy with the contact, James threw the ball at O'Neal's back and, as a result, a minor scrum ensued. O'Neal received a flagrant one foul, James was given a technical, and both Dwyane Wade and Paul Pierce received technicals for their role in the brief fight. James finished with a game-high 27 points as the Heat crushed the Celtics, 100-77.
