Emotions got the best of Marcus Smart on Wednesday, and his wallet is set to pay the price.

The incident occurred in the dying seconds of the third quarter. As the Rockets were running in transition, the two met at the top of the three-point line and began jawing at one another, leading to Smart swinging on Bassey and making contact.

Both players were separated by teammates, staff and officials, and Smart was assessed a Flagrant 2 foul and promptly ejected.

Up to that point in the game, Smart had six points, two rebounds and one assist in 16 minutes. The Rockets would go on to win 115-108.

Smart, 32, is playing in his first season with the Rockets after signing as a free agent in the summer. In nine games, the former defensive player of the year is averaging 8.3 points, 2.6 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 21.4 minutes per game, mostly off the bench.
