Things got real heated in the third quarter last night during the game in Los Angeles between the Lakers and Miami Heat. Jordan Clarkson and Goran Dragic were already being somewhat “chippy” towards each other when Clarkson just decided to deck Dragic with forearms to the face that sent Dragic to the floor. As you might expect, he didn’t take too kindly to the gesture.

Both players were ejected as a result of the fake fight and James Johnson received a technical foul for going towards the Lakers bench and trying to get things going again.

I really wish things like this would happen more often. No, I don’t want to see any player get hurt but guys are just way too friendly nowadays and stuff like this gets the competitive juices flowing, even for a game that most fans could care less about.
