Frustrations certainly got the better of Los Angeles Clippers head coach Doc Rivers on Sunday, as he got booted out of the ball late in the fourth quarter of the ‘team's 114-104 loss to the Denver Nuggets at the Pepsi Center.
With the Clippers down eight with 1:11 remaining in regulation after a Nikola Jokic free throw, one official blew a whistle directed at Rivers' direction. Cameras caught the 58-year-old bench boss clapping and even waving off an official after he was assessed with a technical foul — his second of the ball game.

Doc Rivers was then escorted out of the playing court as he continued taunting the official. His ejection did not seem to fire up his wards, as they were eventually vanquished with a 10-point margin. The Clippers got great production from Kawhi Leonard and Lou Williams who combined for 56 markers.
The Clippers, however, were unable to stop the Nuggets' collective effort, as seven players finished in double figures scoring led by Jokic's double-double of 20 points and 15 boards.
