WATCH: Robin Lopez gets ejected for hitting Chris Paul in the face
Chris Paul and Robin Lopez got into a bit of scuffle which lead to the Knicks big man getting ejected.
New York Knicks big man Robin Lopez and Los Angeles Clippers guard Chris Paul got into a scuffle that involved a lot of pushing Friday night.
While fighting for a rebound, Paul hit Lopez with his forearm, which angered the Knicks big man. Lopez lost his cool and seemingly hit Paul in the face. This prompted a lot of pushing and posturing to take place between both teams.
After reviewing the play, officials gave Lopez two technical fouls and ejected him from the game. DeAndre Jordan and Paul Pierce each received one technical and Paul didn't have any technicals called on him.
Since Lopez actually struck Paul in the face, the NBA could possibly fine or even suspend the Knicks big man. The NBA often takes incidents involving a physical altercation, even a light one like Lopez's, very seriously.
