We all saw what went on the court between Tyler Herro and Amen Thompson. It has already been a chaotic last leg of the year where someone is getting into a fight with someone. After the Herro-Thompson’s scuffle dust settled a bit, more details are coming out of the altercation.
A recent audio leak has given fans a front-row seat to the dramatic altercation between Miami Heat’s Herro and Houston Rockets’ Thompson during a nail-biting game. The incident escalated with just 35 seconds left on the clock, when Herro bumped into Thompson, prompting a physical confrontation.
In the audio captured, Thompson can be heard yelling, “What b***h? I’m gonna f**k you up, boy,” as tensions flared. Herro, seemingly unfazed, responded with laughter while taunting Thompson about his team’s struggles, saying, “Take your a** home. You go home, bro. You lost.”

I love me some Amen Thompson. Put his fine on my tab Rockets. And I’ll take care of anyone else’s fine that stands up for their Rockets teammates.

Additionally, he took it a step further by likening Herro to rapper Machine Gun Kelly and suggested that the Heat guard was flailing a bit during the game. Despite the social media buzz and Maxwell’s barbs, Herro simply kept his focus on the court. He delivered a stellar performance the same night netting 27 points and leading the Heat to a 104-100 victory.
All of this came despite Miami’s star Jimmy Butler out from the lineup. Even if the blame for the scuffle be put on him, he has undeniably stepped up this season for the team in times of need.
