For the second time this season, Jayson Tatum was ejected from a game for arguing with officials.
In the fourth quarter of Saturday’s matchup against the Houston Rockets, the Celtics’ star drove to the paint and went for a dunk attempt but was swatted by a Rockets player. Officials called it a clean block on the floor, but replay showed him getting hit on the arm.
Tatum pleaded his case in a lengthy discussion with an official, but received two technical fouls during the confrontation. One of Tatum’s major points of emphasis seemed to be that he felt officials missed three separate calls on him throughout the night.
