BROOKLYN, New York -- It's hard to know who Doc Rivers was more upset at Wednesday: referee Ken Mauer or his own team. The Los Angeles Clippers coach was ejected with 18.6 seconds left in the first overtime of their 127-122 double-OT loss to the Brooklyn Nets, drawing a second technical foul for arguing about the first one, which was called by Mauer when Rivers appeared to be yelling at referee Lauren Holtkamp.

Afterward, he ripped the Clips for relaxing prematurely with an 18-point lead in the second half, allowing Brooklyn to get back in the game.
