It got a lil crazy towards the end of the Suns/Clippers game last night. P.J. Tucker was ejected after delivering a blow to Blake Griffin. Griffin was PISSED. Check out what happened…
Via ESPN:
Things got testy with 5:28 remaining, as Griffin and P.J. Tucker began wrestling on the floor after they jockeyed for position in the paint on a missed 3-point shot by Matt Barnes and Griffin fell on top of Tucker.
The two had to be separated, and the game was delayed while referees Bennie Adams, Jason Phillips and Matt Boland examined the video monitor to sort it all out. Tucker was charged with a loose ball foul and then ejected, while Griffin stayed in the game — until he fouled out with 3:23 remaining.
“You just kind of assess the play as it happens,” Griffin said. “In the moment, I don’t want to put my team or myself in a bad situation. So you just have to weigh the pros and cons at that point. Just to do something stupid and get kicked out or suspended doesn’t help. We already have injuries and guys who are banged up, so we don’t need that.”
