2012 NBA Playoffs: Danny Granger and Dwyane Wade Get Into It In Game 4 (Video)

Just before halftime of Sunday's Heat-Pacers game in Game 4, Dwyane Wade and Danny Granger had a little confrontation.

Roy Hibbert fouled Wade and held him up so he wouldn't fall down. Wade took offense to it and aggressively ripped away from Hibbert.

Granger then came and said some words to Wade. They both jawed at each other for about five seconds with referee Monty McCutcheon splitting them up.

Granger received a technical for getting in Wade's face. This is Granger's third straight game with a technical foul.

As Hubie Brown says in the video, Granger has become the team's "mouthpiece" by getting defensive with Wade, LeBron James, and all other of the Miami Heat's players.

This series is getting more aggressive with a lot more trash talk game-after-game. Make sure to tune in Tuesday to see if this continues to happen in South Beach.
