Near the end of the Nuggets’ lopsided 113-96 win over the Heat on Monday, Miami power forward Markieff Morris sent an elbow into Denver center Nikola Jokic’s body as he was making a pass. The reigning NBA most valuable player responded with a hard blindside shove that leveled Morris.

Morris received a flagrant two for his shot and Jokic was ejected from the game. Denver’s star center is expected to receive a suspension from the league.

The actions on the court spilled into the world of social media where both Morris’ and Jokic’s brothers sent out threats following the game.

Here’s a look at how others in the sports world reacted on Twitter to the events at Ball Arena:
