Houston Rockets forward Tari Eason watched from the sidelines as his teammate Amen Thompson and Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro scuffled. The skirmish, which nearly turned into a full-blown brawl, happened near the Heat bench. Thompson tossed Herro to the ground after they bumped and grabbed each other near the sidelines.
Teroya Eason, mother of Tari, reacted to the sequence:
“I’m a gentle giant and I don’t condone violence, but I hate taunting and cockiness and that’s why Amen lifted that man off the ground and tossed him across the court like juggernaut. I think Herro should change his name to victim and I don’t feel a thing!!!!!! Goodnight.”
