NBA Ejections: D Crawford, Palmer & Kirkland; TFFL Day 63

Referees Dan Crawford (crew chief), Violet Palmer (R) and Courtney Kirkland (umpire) ejected Thunder forward Kevin Durant for his second technical foul in the 4th quarter of the Nets-Thunder game.

Upon throwing another air punch in response to the technical foul call, Durant received his second technical and ejection. At the time of the ejection, the Nets were leading, 104-90. The Nets ultimately won the contest, 110-93.
