Tyler Herro was ejected from Miami's win over the Rockets on Sunday after an argument with Amen Thompson, and the guard didn't shut up after the game.
Herro, Thompson ejected for fight
Even though Tyler Herro was ejected from Sunday's game, he played a big role in Miami's win against the Houston Rockets.
The guard finished with 27 points, nine assists and six rebounds in what would have been a perfect night had he not gotten into a heated argument at the end of the game.
Throughout the night, Herro was too much to handle for Amen Thompson, who was given the difficult task of guarding Miami's top scorer this season.
It all proved too much for Thompson, and with 47 seconds left in the game, the guard no longer let the basketball do the talking and went head-to-head with his opponent.
As the Stars waited for the ball to go inbounds, Thompson grabbed Herro and unceremoniously body-slammed him to the floor.

Of course, as soon as Herro got up from the floor, both teams kicked off and six players and coaches were ejected, setting off the drama that followed.

All-Star Herro isn't bothered by Thompson
Although Tyler Herro has yet to make an NBA All-Star team in his young career, he seems destined to make his debut this year as he continues to lead Miami to impressive performance after impressive performance.
The fight with Thompson on Sunday afternoon might have been enough to put some players out of the game, but Herro seemed completely unfazed by Thompson's outburst when asked about the altercation after the game.
“It's just two competitors playing basketball…just a physical game,” Herro said. “I think that's what happens when someone scores, flips the coin, does everything. I get mad, too.”
Tyler Herro has been a standout for Miami this season, averaging a career-high 23.9 points per game, and he is expected to win All-Star honors this year.
Jimmy Butler's absence hasn't hindered Herro's development this season, and Herro has been thriving behind the scenes amid rumors that the Miami legend could leave.
