JJ Redick whistled for bizarre ejection during Pelicans' record comeback win over Celtics

The New Orleans Pelicans picked up a wild win over the Boston Celtics on Sunday.

In the process, they lost shooting guard JJ Redick to one of the more bizarre ejections of the NBA season.

In the midst of rallying from a 24-point second-half deficit, Redick picked up a pair of technical fouls that resulted in an early trip to the locker room. The first occurred with 11:42 remaining in the fourth quarter.

Two quick technicals result in Redick's ouster

With the Pelicans on offense, Redick appeared to believe that he got fouled on a pass and immediately turned around to complain to official Josh Tiven.
