Atlanta Hawks center Dwight Howard was ejected after hanging onto the rim too long after a dunk during the third quarter of Monday night's game against Boston.
Howard was given the technical foul for taunting with 4:03 remaining in the third quarter.
Since it was his second technical of the game, it resulted in the automatic ejection. Howard earned his first technical just five minutes earlier for shoving Celtics center (and former Hawks teammate) Al Horford.
The Hawks held down the fort just fine without Howard, as they went on to beat the Celtics 114-98.
