Jimmy Butler, T.J. Warren fined after heated confrontation

Miami Heat guard Jimmy Butler and Indiana Pacers forward T.J. Warren didn’t escape Wednesday’s heated exchange unscathed. The NBA fined both players for their actions during the Heat’s 122-108 win.

The incident occurred in the third quarter. Butler beat Warren on defense, and Warren responded by grabbing Butler to prevent an easy score. Butler then got in Warren’s face. While the two were separated before any punches were thrown, both Butler and Warren continued to yell at each other from across the court.

Both players picked up technicals for their actions. It was Warren’s second technical of the game, so he was ejected from the contest.
