NBA Ejection: Stafford/Adams/Mott (Dwight Howard)

Referees Derrick Stafford (crew chief), Bennie Adams (R) and Rodney Mott (R2/umpire) ejected Lakers center Dwight Howard for a second technical foul in the 3rd quarter of the Spurs-Lakers game. With 0:50.3 remaining in the 1st quarter, Howard was issued his first technical foul for violating the NBA's Respect for the Game guideilnes. With 9:51 remaining in the 3rd quarter, Howard committed a lost ball turnover leading to Spurs points and was assessed his second, disqualifying technical foul for unsporting conduct. At the time of his ejection, the Spurs were leading, 55-34. The Spurs ultimately won the contest, 103-82 and eliminated the Lakers from playoff contention in a four-game series sweep.

This is Derrick Stafford (9)'s third involvement with an ejection of the 2012-13 NBA season/post-season.
This is Bennie Adams (47)'s third involvement with an ejection of the 2012-13 NBA season/post-season.
This is Rodney Mott (71)'s second ejection of the 2012-13 NBA season and post-season.

Wrap: San Antonio Spurs vs. Los Angeles Lakers (Western Conference First Round Playoffs, 4/28/13)
