Kristaps Porzingis ejected from his first playoff game

NBA officials ejected Kristaps Porzingis from the Mavericks game one tilt against the Clippers early in the third after getting two technical fouls.

Much is said about the increasing physicality of the NBA playoffs, but apparently, nobody passed that on to tonight refs, who saw fit to slap Porzingis with two - questionable at best, flagrantly weak at worst - technical fouls and kicking him from a game in which he had scored 14 points and grabbed 6 boards.

Kristaps first T came after what looked to be a clean block was called a foul, leading him to protest to no one in particular.
