” And Trae has just… been expelled!! “, does not come back the commentator of the Hawks. A few minutes of the second period of this Hawks – Pacers had just passed when the Atlanta point guard was sent back to the locker room prematurely.
Pattern ? Having sent the ball towards an official, Scott Wall, in a far too strong way. The Hawks star was expelled on the spot, without having taken a technical foul beforehand. His bad mood annoyed some of his teammates, starting with Clint Capela or Bogdan Bogdanovic who had just returned to their bench after a time-out claimed by Quin Snyder.
” He can’t do that kind of thing. I told him he knows “Reports his coach, adding:” There is nothing about him that could justify what had happened. “His leader visibly badly digested a whistle that occurred a few seconds earlier.
When he had just scored a long shot with contact, almost from the central logo, the leader was penalized with an offensive foul for having dragged his leg at Aaron Nesmith’s level, to draw the fault of the latter. His potential action at 3 + 1 was thus canceled, and in the process Tyrese Haliburton sanctioned 3-pointers to put the two teams tied.
Good Guys Win☺️

The good news is that the Hawks, despite this ejection, remained strong collectively. With seven other players at 11 points or more, they won a 37th victory this season, synonymous with a balanced record and a consolidated 8th place in the East. ” We didn’t want it to turn into an element negative. We made something positive out of it and we won summarizes Dejounte Murray (20 points and 12 assists).
The less good news is that it was the 15th technical foul of the season for his teammate, author of 14 points (6/11) and 5 assists in 21 minutes before this expulsion. One more technique, in the remaining eight games, and it will be an automatic game suspension.
