LeBron James, Houston Rockets get a little physical

The Cavaliers played in Houston Sunday afternoon, and things got a little heated between LeBron James and a few of the Rockets.

James and the Cavaliers were upset about the way that the game was called during the first half, and things boiled over in the third quarter when James and Patrick Beverley collided in the paint on a LeBron drive. Beverley was called for the block, but the two players were tangled on the floor and had to be separated.

Both players were issued technical fouls.

Tristan Thompson would also pick up a technical foul later in the game for the Cavaliers, with Trevor Ariza and Corey Brewer picking up technical fouls for Houston.

James Harden was issued a flagrant foul for kicking at James when Harden was laying on the ground.

The Cavaliers attempted 21 free throws in the game, only making 11 of them. James made three out of 11, including missing a pair with 4 seconds left in overtime that could have tied or put the Cavaliers ahead. The Rockets won 105-103.
