Hawks' Trae Young ejected after firing ball at official

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young was ejected from Saturday's 143-130 win over the Indiana Pacers for heaving the ball at a referee in the middle of the third quarter.

Young had just been called for an offensive foul that led to a game-tying 3-pointer from Tyrese Haliburton, resulting in a timeout by Atlanta. A visibly frustrated Young first bounced the ball and then threw a two-handed hard pass at referee Scott Wall, who caught the ball.

Young was assessed his 15th technical foul of the season and ejected.
