On April 20, Beijing time, the Heat hosted the Hawks and started the playoff G2 game. With 6 minutes and 9 seconds left in the second quarter of the game, there was a hot scene on the field! Lowry and Hunter got into a verbal altercation, teammates quickly separated the two, and the referee gave a technical foul each!
Slow-motion replays show that during the Heat's offensive turn, Hunter and Lowry got tangled up early on, with Lowry being topped over the floor by Hunter and still in the card slot after getting up. After Butler hit a layup, the other Heat players had already returned to the defense, but Lowry stayed in the front court and got into a verbal altercation with Hunter, obviously dissatisfied with the behavior of the junior!
Lowry is a scrappy defender with a very tough style and is also a great fit for the Heat. No matter who he was on the court, he did not back down, and Hunter did not intend to give face to this opponent, facing Lori, who was obviously short of himself, Hunter directly started to push Lori down.
With 3:18 left before half-time, Hunter and Lowry were on the bar again. One foul he committed against Lowry was replayed by the referee, but it was ultimately determined to be an ordinary foul and did not escalate to a malicious foul.
