Phoenix Suns forward Markieff Morris was ejected from Monday night's game in Miami after an excessively hard foul on Miami Heat guard (and former Suns teammate) Goran Dragic.
It happened in the third quarter as Dragic stole a pass and raced down the court on a fastbreak, with Morris chasing him down from behind. As Dragic went up for the layup, Morris bumped him in mid-air at full speed, knocking Dragic off balance and sending him tumbling to the ground on his back. Morris was given a flagrant 2 and tossed from the game.
Dragic was able to stay in the game and shoot his free throws (two for the personal foul, one for the technical). Dragic finished with 21 points as the Heat blew out the Suns 115-98.
