As play was about to resume with a Heat in bound pass with 35.7 seconds left in the game, and the away side leading by five, Herro and Thompson locked horns.
Herro pressed up against Thompson before slipping in front of him in an apparent attempt to receive the pass, but the 21-year-old Rockets’ guard grabbed Herro’s jersey and they got in each other’s faces.
They scuffled with one another before Thompson slug Herro to the ground and just about every member of both sides charged in to get involved in the situation.
The commentator was shocked by what they were witnessing saying “madness on the floor here in Houston”.
Six players were ejected, but no one appeared to be injured in the aftermath with suspensions or fines from the NBA likely to be announced soon.
Miami went to win 104-100 to improve their record to 15-14 and sit seventh in the Eastern Conference, while the Rockets are 21-10 and second in the West.
