Rockets guard Marcus Smart was ejected after throwing a punch at Warriors center Charles Bassey.
Smart was assessed a Flagrant 2 foul after the punch, which officials said made contact with Bassey's nose. Rockets coach Ime Udoka said Smart reacted after Bassey replied to a complaint about a rebound entanglement, and Bassey called the punch fake toughness. Under the NBA rulebook, a punch brings a suspension of at least one game, and a mandatory fine is also expected.
