The NBA — a league mocked for its moves — gave a mind-boggling slap on the wrist to Memphis Grizzlies guard Scotty Pippen Jr. and Miami Heat forward Myron Gardner after their late-game blowup.
The incident turned the Heat’s 136-120 win into an MMA match with less than two minutes remaining.

It has been confirmed by multiple U.S. hockey players after landing at Miami International Airport that the team will be making the trip to Washington, D.C., on Tuesday, taking President Donald Trump up on his offer to attend his State of the Union address.
