The game between the Houston Rockets and the Miami Heat was an extreme defeat for the Rockets, with three players and two coaching staff members being ejected. Armoni Brooks and Jalen Green are likely to face suspensions as well, and a huge conflict in the last 35.7 seconds has sparked heated discussions across the United States. After the game, Vernon Maxwell, a former Rockets player (who played for the Rockets from the 90-95 season and won two championships with Hakeem Olajuwon), wrote: "I love what Armoni Brooks did. Put his fine on my account; I'll take care of anyone who stands up for the Rockets." Houston media highlighted the double standard refereeing in the fourth quarter, where Rozier used an elbow to clear his way for a layup, hitting Armoni's head with his elbow. However, the referees awarded a 2+1, which reduced the Rockets' five-point lead to one point. Houston media member Bradeaux wrote: "TV replays need better methods; the big screen at Toyota Center should be enlarged, making the referee's decision look even worse." He also revisited the moment when Armoni and Herro were entangled, both of them getting physical, but Armoni used a shoulder throw, and his emotions were more intense. The Houston media wrote: "Strictly speaking, I like everything Armoni did, but it's terrible that he faces suspension. The Rockets are about to enter a tough schedule, and we will miss Armoni if Ethan cannot return. The Rockets' next three games are against the Mavericks, Celtics, and Lakers." During his ejection, Herro taunted Armoni, saying, "You're a…

On December 30th, Beijing time, the Rockets lost 100-104 to the Heat at home. Butler continued to be absent, Herro shot 17 out of 10, 3 points 7 out of 3, free throws 7 out of 4, scoring 27 points, 6 rebounds, and 9 assists with a plus-minus value of +13. With 35.7 seconds left in the final quarter, Herro had a verbal altercation with Amen Thompson, during which Amen grabbed Herro's jersey and performed a suplex on him. Rozier was standing on the sidelines, preparing to come off the bench. Upon seeing Herro being suplexed right in front of him, Rozier rushed over and pinned down Amen Thompson. Multiple players and coaches from both teams ran over; some tried to break up the fight while others wanted to join in, causing chaos on the court. Security personnel slowly entered the field, with two standing in front of Herro. After reviewing the footage, the referees ejected six players at once: four from the Rockets - head coach Udoka, assistant coach Sullivan, Jalen Green, and Amen Thompson - and two from the Heat - Rozier and Herro. Tim Reynolds, a Heat reporter, tweeted his frustration with the decision: "Herro was the one who got suplexed, so why did the referees eject him?" After the game, Rockets head coach Udoka said, "They were butting heads, with some chest-to-chest contact; it was just one man being stronger than the other." The Lord took a look at the comments from foreign netizens, many of whom mocked Herro for being too weak and getting thrown…
