NBA Ejection: D Crawford/L Richardson/Roe

Referees Dan Crawford (crew chief), Leroy Richardson (R) and Eli Roe (R2/umpire) ejected Cleveland Cavaliers forward Marreese Speights for a flagrant foul penalty two during the 3rd quarter of the Pacers-Cavaliers game. With 0:48.4 remaining in the 3rd period, Speights was charged with a turnover after Pacers forward Paul George stole the ball from him. While George subsequently attempted a fast break score, Speights employed contact both excessive and unnecessary by grabbing George around the neck and pulling him to the ground, resulting in a flagrant foul type two call. At the time of the ejection, the Pacers were leading, 82-62. The Pacers ultimately won the contest, 111-90.

This is Dan Crawford (43)'s seventh ejection of the 2012-13 NBA season.
This is Leroy Richardson (20)'s fourth involvement with an ejection of the 2012-13 NBA season.
This is Eli Roe (44)'s fourth involvement with an ejection of the 2012-13 NBA season.
