Late in the fourth quarter, Richard Jefferson got into a heated exchange with Bucks’ rookie Thon Maker after he was pulled down to the ground by the rookie. After the referees reviewed the play, they assessed double-technical fouls to the players.
Jefferson, who felt like he was clearly pulled by Maker, was very upset that he received a technical foul and went off on the referee for it. He was subsequently ejected, but not before letting the officiating staff know how he felt about the play.
