Hassan Whiteside, Alex Len ejected for fighting (Video)
The Miami Heat and Phoenix Suns’ big men got into a wrestling match on the court during Monday’s game.
The Miami Heat and Phoenix Suns went to a fight and a basketball game broke out — or something like that. The two teams were destined to have a rough game as the Heat traded for Goran Dragic this season after he nuked bridges in Phoenix on his way out with the Suns.

What started with Markieff Morris getting ejected for blasting former teammate Goran Dragic as he went up for a layup, devolved into a wrestling match with Len and Whiteside getting tangled up.
Len took exception to Whiteside hitting him in the face after a big slam. While it may have been incidental, Len then appeared to get tangled with Whiteside.
Whiteside would then try to take Len down and the two got into a wrestling match underneath the hoop as teammates jumped in to pull Len and Whiteside off each other.
Alex Len and Hassan Whiteside would each be ejected and sent back to their locker rooms as the officials tried to restore order on the court.
Afterwards, Marcus Morris and Henry Walker would get tangled up on the court. Emotions are running high in Miami, and there is still another quarter to go as each team desperately tries to hang onto playoff hopes.
