The Miami Heat’s franchise-record 15th straight victory was marred by a fourth-quarter altercation between Ray Allen and Minnesota’s J.J. Barea, which led to an ejection and plenty of jawing.
With the Heat leading 76-70, Allen tried backing Barea down on the perimeter. The Heat veteran appeared to push the diminutive T-Wolves guard to get some separation. When Allen drove to the basket, Barea went right back at him, knocking him to the ground. A foul was called but one of the NBA TV announcers called it “a semi-flop by Ray Allen.”
Allen got up and tried to confront Barea, only to be held back by Dwyane Wade and a couple of officials. Barea was charged with a flagrant foul type 2, which results in an ejection. As Barea walked off the court, he and Allen continued to jaw at each other.

THE FACTS: Paul Pierce had a triple-double and hit the game-winning jumper with 30 seconds remaining, helping to snap Boston’s six-game losing streak with a 100-98 victory over the Miami Heat in double overtime Sunday.

He suffered the injury Friday night in Atlanta. Pierce (17 points, 13 rebounds, 10 assists) and Kevin Garnett (24 points, 11 rebounds) carried the shorthanded Celtics without their All-Star point guard. LeBron James had a game-high 34 points for the visitors, who had their four-game winning streak snapped.
