Los Angeles Lakers coach Luke Walton was ejected in the first quarter of Monday night's game against Sacramento for walking onto the court and shouting at the officials.
Walton was in disbelief as as Kings center DeMarcus Cousins got tangled up with Julius Randle and they both ended up on the ground, yet somehow no foul call was made on either player by the referees. Play continued and the Kings hit a three-pointer to cut the Lakers lead to 17-14 with 4:14 remaing in the first quarter.
Walton received two quick technicals, as Lakers players could not restrain him in time to protect him from getting tossed.
The Lakers were able to hold things together for a while without Walton, as they were only down 59-58 at halftime. However, the Kings blew the doors open by outscoring the Lakers 39-13 in the third quarter on the way to a 116-92 victory.
