Trae Young lost his cool and his place on the court late in Atlanta's play-in loss to the Orlando Magic Tuesday night.

The Hawks guard helped orchestrate a rally from a 22-point first-half deficit to get within three points in the third quarter. But the game slipped from Atlanta's grasp in the fourth, and Young responded by taunting multiple referees. He threw the ball at one, then kicked it away from another, earning two quick technical fouls and an ejection.
