Indiana Pacers swingman Paul George and Philadelphia 76ers forward Gerald Henderson were ejected from Monday's game after wrestling for position and falling to the floor.
Henderson took exception to George's aggressive play, and while the physical scuffle was minimal, it might have been the All-Star‘s mouth that got the journeyman all riled up.
Henderson received a Flagrant 2 foul for throwing an elbow while prone, and George was consequently called for his second technical foul of the game, resulting in his ejection.
The Pacers managed to escape with a 120-111 win behind George's 27 points, holding onto the seventh spot and sitting one win away from clinching a playoff bid and facing the No. 2 seed in the East.
The Miami Heat and Chicago Bulls both won their respective games today, putting the Pacers' destiny in their own hands.
