Scandal in Heat vs Pelicans
106 to 95 Miami Heat about New Orleans Pelicans It’s anecdotal. The strong part was at the beginning of the last quarter, when there was a strong confrontation that ended with four being sent off.
A foul by Kevin Love on Zion Williamson seemed to go no further, until Naji Marshall came to the crossroads. It was then that the Pelicans forward crossed paths with Jimmy Butler and, between pushes, everything went out of control. The judges ejected Love, Williamson, Thomas Bryant and Jose Alvarado.

Heat vs Pelicans: what was said
Jimmy Butler stood in front of the microphones and declared: “I don’t think they should have kicked me out of the game.” However, the most striking statement was that of Zion Williamson: “I didn’t trip over K-Love because he was actually protecting me from my fall. Suddenly I see Butler lunging at Naji, so I try to get there and say, ‘hey, relax, what’s going on?’ It’s hard not to like intensity like that. “It’s about people who compete, people who fight for their teammates.”
Finally, it was Erik Spoeltstra, coach of the Miami Heat, who spoke out. “I think there was simply a misunderstanding in the play. I think Zion slipped on the play when K-Love grabbed him and looked a lot worse than he was. And then everyone overreacted. I think they interpreted it as K-Love knocking Williamson down. On K-Love’s best day, I don’t think he could throw it away,” he asserted.
