NBA Ejections: Jones/Kirkland/Lane & Zarba/Corbin/Dalen

Referees David Jones (crew chief), Courtney Kirkland (R) and Karl Lane (R2/umpire) ejected Nets guard Deron Williams for arguing a no-call in the 4th quarter of the Nets-Rockets game. With 1:07 remaining in the 4th period, Williams was fouled by Rockets center Carlos Delfino, resulting in free throws. Replays indicate that while Williams stood at the free throw line during the ensuing dead ball, he and Jones became verbally engaged, ultimately resulting in Williams' ejection. In the minute prior to ejection, Williams had been charged with two turnovers. Teammate Reggie Evans was selected to shoot Williams' free throws following the ejection. At the time of the ejection, the Rockets were leading, 118-105. The Rockets ultimately won the contest, 119-106.

This is David Jones (36)'s second ejection of the 2012-13 NBA season (both single technical foul ejections).
This is Courtney Kirkland (61)'s fourth involvement with an ejection of the 2012-13 NBA season.
This is Karl Lane (77)'s first involvement with an ejection of the 2012-13 NBA season.

Referees Zach Zarba (crew chief), Sean Corbin (R) and Eric Dalen (R2/umpire) ejected Suns guard Shannon Brown for a flagrant foul penalty two in the 3rd quarter of the Suns-Spurs game. With 0:31.4 remaining in the 3rd period, Brown flagrantly fouled Spurs guard Manu Ginobili, a call confirmed as a flagrant foul type two after instant replay review during which the contact was ruled unnecessary and excessive. At the time of the ejection, the Suns were leading, 82-77. The Spurs ultimately won the contest, 108-99.

This is Zach Zarba (28)'s seventh involvement with an ejection (5th direct) of the 2012-13 NBA season.
This is Sean Corbin (33)'s second involvement with an ejection of the 2012-13 NBA season.
