The heated scuffle between Nikola Jokic and Markieff Morris made headlines yesterday. After suffering a crushing defeat at the hands of the Nuggets, the Heat players were frustrated. The frustration was released in the fourth quarter when Markieff committed a hard foul on Jokic.
In response to the foul, Jokic shoved Morris aggressively which sent the forward to the ground. Following this beef between the two players, Jokic explained himself after the game.
Initially, it seemed that was it for the scuffle, but according to a new picture clicked by Aaron Ontiveroz, the bubble burst. The image shows many Miami Heat players waiting in the hall for Jokic and the Denver Nuggets to arrive. It seems like a scene from a movie and if security hadn’t intervened this might have turned into an even uglier fight.
The image was captioned, “Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic set off a melee after striking the Miami Heat’s Markieff Morris with a retaliatory blow during the fourth quarter. the action resulted in an ejection for the league’s reigning mvp. heat players gathered in the hall, led by jimmy butler, to confront the nuggets, but security intervened.”
Upon seeing this image, many NBA fans commented on it. While some appreciated the photographer for clicking such a great image, others talked about what could have further happened in this matter.

While the photos look amazing, the guy in the picture is not a security personnel as many fans pointed out. Regardless, the last image simply defines the Miami Heat culture.
Next time the Heat face off against the Nuggets, there is a huge chance that another big fight breaks out between the two sides. Hopefully, no one gets hurt even if this beef between the two teams escalates.
