The Heat and Rockets each do not play again until New Year’s Day, giving the league office ample time before Wednesday to assess in the wake of the referees on Sunday ejecting the Heat’s Herro and Rozier, the Rockets’ Thomson and Jalen Green, as well as Rocket coach Ime Udoka and assistant Ben Sullivan. Based on NBA precedent, Thompson could receive a sanction for multiple games, while Rozier faces possible suspension for escalation.
