NBA Ejection: Malloy/Lewis/Rush & TFFL Day 128

Referees Ed Malloy (crew chief), Eric Lewis (R) and Eddie F. Rush (R2/umpire) ejected Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich for a second unsporting technical foul during the 2nd quarter of the Cavaliers-Spurs game. With 6:33 remaining in the 2nd period, Spurs F Boris Diaw was called for an offensive charge foul, the team's sixth turnover. Popvich received one technical foul for violation of the NBA's Respect for the Game guidelines and a second technical foul for leaving the coach's box and entering the playing court to argue a call. At the time of the ejection, the Cavaliers were leading, 48-44. The Spurs ultimately won the contest, 119-113.
