The game quickly transformed itself into an ill-tempered affair with more memorable fights than basketball play.
Dragic's new side the Heat eventually won 115-98 in a contest that lasted an incredible 2 hours and 43 minute with two third-quarter altercations, three ejections and six player technicals.
The ejected players were Alex Len and Markieff Morris for the Suns, whilst Miami lost Hassan Whiteside.
