NBA Ejection: Crawford/Corbin/Scott & TFFL Day 123

Referees Joe Crawford (crew chief), Sean Corbin (R) and Kevin Scott (R2/umpire) ejected Knicks guard J.R. Smith for a flagrant two foul in the 3rd quarter of the Bucks-Kings game. With 6:51 remaining in the third period, Smith excessively and unnecessarily made contact with Warriors forward Harrison Barnes' head, resulting in a flagrant one call which was changed following instant replay review to a flagrant foul penalty two. At the time of the ejection, Warriors were leading, 64-40. The Warriors ultimately won the contest, 92-63.

This is Joe Crawford (17)'s first ejection of the 2012-13 NBA season.
