Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges took to social media after he was ejected from the team's 132-103 play-in loss to the host Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday night, calling his actions as he exited to court "unacceptable."
With Atlanta up big in the second half and Charlotte's season winding down to its end, Bridges was whistled for a goaltending call on De'Andre Hunter midway through the fourth quarter and immediately went after game official James Williams, who called two quick technicals on the fourth-year player.
As Bridges left the court and headed to the Charlotte locker room, a Hawks fan yelled in his direction, leading him to turn around and throw his mouthpiece, which appeared to hit a young woman standing up in one of State Farm Arena's lower seats.
