Kelly Oubre: Hits by Kelly Olynyk ended with retaliation

WASHINGTON -- Wizards forward Kelly Oubre says "reoccurring events" of being hit in the head caused the outburst that got him ejected from Thursday's Game 3 win over the Boston Celtics.

After being floored by an illegal screen from Celtics big man Kelly Olynyk early in the second quarter, Oubre charged at Olynyk and knocked him to the ground by burying his forearm in his chest. Oubre was assessed a flagrant 2 and ejected.

"I've been hit in the head multiple times by the same person," Oubre told reporters after practice Friday.
