This was a first in NBA history.
Austin Rivers and father and Clippers head coach Doc Rivers were both ejected within moments of each other during the Clippers' loss to the Houston Rockets Friday night.
Here's a look at how it all went down:
Austin Rivers seemed to inadvertently bump into an official after a play but he still was handed a technical for it and eventually double-technical to warrant the ejection.
Doc Rivers called timeout a few moments later to discuss the decision with officials and that also escalated until he was ejected as well.
Here's an explanation on the decisions from referee Jason Phillips:

The Rockets went on to easily win the game, scoring 140 points.
