LeBron James, Patrick Mahomes among fans mad after Kristaps Porzingis' ejection in Game 1 against Clippers

Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis was ejected in their 118-110 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers in Game 1 of their opening-round playoff series on Monday night, and basketball fans weren’t happy about it.

Not one bit.

Porzingis ejected after second technical

Both of Porzingis’ technical fouls on Monday weren’t outrageous by any means.

His first one came midway through the second quarter after he came up with what looked like a fairly clean block on Paul George and started celebrating.

Officials said after the game that the technical was assessed “for throwing an air punch at the official in resentment” of the foul call.
