Jazz's Rudy Gobert ejected less than 3 minutes into game

SALT LAKE CITY -- In his first game after being fined for publicly criticizing officiating, Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert got ejected early in the first quarter.

Gobert smacked a bottle off the scorer's table in frustration after being called for his second foul with 9:13 remaining in the first quarter of Thursday's game against the Houston Rockets. He was quickly ejected by referee Courtney Kirkland.

Gobert was called for a foul on the opening tip. His second foul came when Houston's James Harden flopped while Gobert was fighting for post position.
