Jermaine O'Neal has been hacked hard all series long by Antoine Walker and Raef LaFrentz, and as Game 3 was winding down, he exchanged shoves with Walker and both players drew technical fouls.
After the game, O'Neal had regained his composure and was once again a classy gentleman.
``It's basketball,'' he said. ``Things happen. People say things. I know 'Toine personally, and I know Raef personally. Sometimes you'll do things that don't sit well with other people.''
O'Neal is sensitive about constant hacking, as he is still recovering from an injured shoulder.
