The refs look at the monitor and assess all four players a technical and three of the four are ejected from the game. When play resumes, each team shoots two free throws and the Heat get the ball back. How do four technicals and three ejections result in each team getting two free throws?

I didn't see the play and don't know NBA rules, but here's a guess: 1 live-ball flagrant personal foul, 2 offsetting flagrant technical fouls, and 1 other technical. Shoot the free throws for the flagrant personal and other technical.
