Chicago Bulls center Nazr Mohammed was ejected for shoving Miami Heat superstar LeBron James after they got tangled up in the second quarter of Friday night's Game 3 in their Eastern Conference semifinal playoff series.
As James dribbled past the half court line, Mohammed tried to wrap him up and was called for a personal foul. However, when James used his right arm to aggressively push back, sending Mohammed to the floor, James was called for a technical foul. Unfortunately, Mohammed lost his cool and got ejected when he got up from the floor and pushed James down to the ground.
The game is tight, and with all the injuries the Bulls are dealing with, they could ill afford to lose another player under these circumstances. Mohammed needs to keep his cool in these types of situations. We'll see if the Bulls can get by without him for the rest of this game and possibly the next.
