The Indiana Pacers weren't the only ones who had a bad night in Monday's Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals, as rap star Flo Rida's manager was ejected from the game for jawing with a Pacers player during the closing minutes of the game.

LeBron James and the Miami Heat clinched the Eastern Conference title for the third year in a row Monday with a 99-76 trouncing of the Pacers, but not before a scuffle took place on the court with under three minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, when 6'9" Pacers power forward Jeff Pendergraph bumped Heat guard Norris Cole on a hard screen while the Heat were up 96-70 with 2:17 left in the game.

The bump caused tempers to flare as Pendergraph and Cole got into a shoving match, leading players to separate the two and both to be ejected from the game.

However, the tussle wasn't only contained on the court, as Flo Rida's manager was seen exchanging some trash talk and heated words of his own with Pendergraph. Referees didn't take kindly to his antics and security escorted him out of the building after they tried to calm him down.

TNT reporter Craig Sager, who was covering the game, explained the situation.

"He and Pendergraph had been going back and forth. He got to be such a distraction that the officials came over and tried to eject him. He wanted to stay put. However, Flo Rida said, 'You're my manager, but you've got to get out of here now.'"

The incident put a bizarre cap to a night that saw the Heat advance to the NBA Finals for the third time in the "Big Three" era of James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. The Heat will play Tim Duncan and the four-time world champion San Antonio Spurs in the NBA Finals, which begin on Thursday.
