If the Miami Heat-Boston Celtics rivalry didn't have enough flavor to satisfy your taste before Tuesday night, maybe this will help.

The Heat had a successful opening night to their tittle defense season by taking down their arch-rival Celtics, 120-107.

With 16.9 seconds left in a game that was well out of reach for the Celtics, Rajon Rondo committed a hard foul that was eventually ruled a flagrant foul against Dwyane Wade.

Here's a look at the hard foul:

Wade was asked about the play later on, saying, "It was a punk play. He clotheslined me."

The Heat and Celtics have been exchanging words all off-season and apparently the bad blood has escalated into the court and I for one cannot wait until these two teams face off again on January 27th in Boston.
