Bulls players tried to plead their case with official Tony Brothers after he ejected Nikola Vucevic in the second quarter on Sunday.

LOS ANGELES – Tony Brothers must be well-versed in Serbian.

And not the good words, either.

With 1:02 left in the first half of Sunday’s eventual huge win over the Lakers, Nikola Vucevic was hit with the technical foul from referee Sean Corbin. The Bulls big man obviously wasn’t happy, was venting to the bench, and then turned and said something back towards the court, with Brothers quickly hitting him with the second technical and instant ejection.
