Referees Dan Crawford (crew chief), Eric Lewis (R) and Kevin Scott (R2/umpire) ejected Warriors forward Draymond Green for a flagrant foul penalty two and Rockets forward Marcus Morris for a technical foul in the 4th quarter of the Warriors-Rockets game.

Morris was ejected for his conduct during the ensuing dead ball period. At the time of the ejections, the Rockets were leading, 136-106. The Rockets ultimately won the contest, 140-109.
