THE MIAMI HEAT got the better of the Philadelphia 76ers last night but the victory was overshadowed by a vicious on-court assault.
The perpetrator was a well-known rogue called Burnie – the Heat’s official mascot.
During a break in play, he attempted to perform an impressive front flip stunt to celebrate his birthday – the idea being that he’d launch himself over a collection of other mascots as they lay on the floor.
But he definitely had some history with a couple of his rivals.

Instead of clearing the group of prostrate volunteers, Burnie came up short and dived feet-first into two of them instead.
It was reminiscent of Roy Keane’s infamous reducer on Alf Inge Halland.
You can almost hear Burnie mutter under his breath ‘Take that, you c**t’ as he applies the deadly, studs-up challenge.
To add insult to almost-certain injury, he promptly celebrates as if nothing happened.
Contempt.
