Los Angeles Clippers guard Lou Williams is usually as calm and collected as they come, but he showed some seldom seen fire on Friday night against the Houston Rockets at the Staples Center.

With the visitors clinging to a three point lead, 90-87, ā€œSweet Louā€ did not live up to his nickname at the 11:05 minute mark of the final period when he threw a fit after getting flagged for a shooting foul against Russell Westbrook.

Replays showed that Williams got all ball when he swiped it out of Westbrook's hands, but the refs blew the whistle and awarded Russ with two freebies.

Lou was uncharacteristically livid and proceeded to go on with a verbal tirade directed at the official and was called for two disqualifying technical fouls.Ā Williams had to be held back by assistant coach Tyron Lue as he was ejected out of the playing area.

Williams had six points and three assists in 17 minutes of play at the time of the ejection.
