The Associated Press is reporting that Heat forward Udonis Haslem was ejected in the second quarter after scuffling with Jermaine O'Neal on Monday night.

Haslem rebounded a missed jumper by Indiana's Danny Granger with 5:25 left in the half, and O'Neal locked his arm around Haslem's -- spinning the Miami player around. The two began exchanging heated words and were separated by Heat center Shaquille O'Neal, among others.

No punches were thrown and no players left the bench area, although both coaches -- Miami's Pat Riley and Indiana's Rick Carlisle -- were on the court as the tensions continued to escalate.

Both players were issued technical fouls. Haslem, though, was also charged with an offensive foul, and was issued a second technical after arguing that call. He left the floor angrily, tearing off his jersey and throwing it onto the court.
