Eric Bledsoe and Terry Rozier have been beefing with each other throughout their first-round series, and things finally got physical between the two during tonight’s Game 5. But those hoping to finally see a legitimate fight during a basketball game can go ahead and X out now, because what we have here is the run-of-the-mill NBA shoving match.

Looks like Bledsoe figured out who Rozier is:
