LeBron, Dirk, Patrick Mahomes And NBA Fans Slam Refs For Weak Kristaps Porzingis Ejection

 

With over nine minutes left in the third quarter, Dallas Mavericks big man Kristaps Porzingis was ejected for the first time in his NBA career when he received his second technical foul of the night.

It was the turning point of the game, and eventually led to a Clippers win.

Both technical calls were extremely weak and not worthy of an ejection, especially in a playoff game. Jeff Van Gundy wasn’t having any of it during the live broadcast, and many, many others jumped to his side – among them LeBron James, Dirk Nowitzki, Patrick Mahomes and even Clippers head coach, Doc Rivers.

NBA Top 10 Plays Of The Night | August 17, 2020


Check out the top 10 plays of the night from the #NBAPlayoffs on August 17, featuring Nikola Jokic, Donovan Mitchell, Joel Embiid and more! 

Luka Doncic makes NBA history in his playoff debut vs. Clippers | 2020 NBA Playoffs

It’s hard to be anything but impressed with the first day of 2020 NBA Playoff action. The quadruple header was a hit and three of the four matchups were settled down the stretch.

We’ve laid out the biggest takeaways from the games below.

No. 2 Raptors 134, No. 7 Nets 110

TOR leads series 1-0

The Raptors ran up the score early in their first-round debut against the Nets but give Brooklyn credit for at least showing sporadic signs of life throughout. Six Raptors players hit at least two three-pointers, while Fred VanVleet took center stage with eight bombs and a game-leading 30 points. Kyle Lowry was up to his usual savvy tricks, and complemented the pile of charges drawn with 26 points and 11 assists. The Nets were led by Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot, who connected on six threes and emerged as the only Brooklyn player with a positive plus-minus.




No. 3 Celtics 109, No. 6 Sixers 101

BOS leads series 1-0

The Celtics are in good hands with Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown carrying the franchise and the young core paced their offense with 32 and 29 points respectively. The game went back and forth but the Cs wrestled the lead away in the fourth and didn’t look back, despite Joel Embiid’s solid showing on offense and even more impressive command of the boards. Embiid finished the game with 26 points and 16 rebounds. The Celtics were dealt a blow in the fourth when Gordon Hayward sprained his right ankle after landing awkwardly on the foot of Daniel Theis in the paint. His status heading forward isn’t yet known.




No. 2 Clippers 118, No. 7 Mavericks 110

LAC leads series 1-0

The Clippers broke out of the gates in typical, physically dominant form and it rattled the upstart Mavericks. If you think super sophomore Luka Doncic didn’t adjust, however, think again. The Mavs rallied back from a 16-point hole in the first to somehow win the quarter. The two offenses went at it for the next two quarters until Kristaps Porzingis was controversially ejected with nearly nine minutes remaining in the third. The unicorn picked up his second tech for getting a little too involved in an otherwise mild Doncic-Marcus Morris confrontation. The Clippers were far from perfect in the opener, which shows just how good an opponent needs to be in order to win a game against this powerhouse. Doncic set an NBA record with 42 points in a playoff debut but the 11 turnovers he recorded are indicative of the challenges he faces against Kawhi Leonard, Paul George and Patrick Beverley.
