First the technical...then the ejection.
The New York Knicks' Robin Lopez managed to earn both without a single tick of the game clock—steadily reading 3:32 in the game's final quarter.
First came an aggressively disputed no-call with official Justin Van Duyne after a collision with the Charlotte Hornets' Al Jefferson.
Next was a series of pointed, frustrated claps, aimed directly in official Dan Crawford's face, just moments after Hornets guard Kemba Walker lifted Charlotte up 99-86 over the Knicks (a direct result of the first technical).
