BOSTON - Boston Celtics forward Marcus Morris got ejected in between free throw attempts late in the fourth quarter of Saturday's win over the Toronto Raptors, then patted a referee on his backside before leaving the court to a standing ovation from fans inside TD Garden.
Morris took umbrage when Toronto's CJ Miles fouled him near midcourt as Morris attempted to run out the clock with Boston up double digits en route to a 110-99 triumph in a battle of the top teams in the East.
Morris confronted a smiling Miles and referees assessed a double technical.
