The Miami Heat defeated the Houston Rockets 104-100 on the road last night, with young Serbian basketball player Nikola Jović as the hero of the victory.
Nikola played a crucial role in the Heat’s win, sinking a clutch three-pointer in the final minutes and then sealing the victory with free throws.
However, a heated incident marred the end of the game. Shortly after Jović’s decisive three-pointer (98-94), a massive brawl erupted on the court.

With 35 seconds remaining, a confrontation between Amen Thompson and Tyler Herro escalated. Jović’s teammate ended up on the floor, and Nikola immediately intervened, leading to a chaotic scene. Players from both teams got involved, with pushing and shoving, resulting in multiple ejections.
The Serbian national team player had one of the best games of his career. He finished the match with 18 points, seven rebounds, and six assists, shooting 5/9 from the field and 3/5 from beyond the arc.
Tyler Herro was the only player more efficient for the winning team, scoring 27 points.
