Dillon Brooks managed to get ejected in the most Dillon Brooks way possible. Brooks and the Houston Rockets lost to the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday night with a final score of 128 to 119. With less than a minute left in the fourth quarter and the game already decided, Brooks exaggerated contact with Milwaukee’s Khris Middleton while chasing a loose ball out of bounds. Game official Suyash Mehta did not believe it at all and punished Brooks with a flopping violation (resulting in a technical foul).
This angered Dillon The Villain, who began arguing with Mehta over the call. Mehta responded by sanctioning Brooks with a second technical foul, ejecting him from the game (albeit only for the 38.9 seconds remaining).
Here is the video (which also led to the ejection of Rockets coach Ime Udoka):

Brooks could argue that he was legitimately fouled, but he definitely overreacted a bit. For a player who has been known as a great thrower since his college days, this was a classic situation where he cried wolf for no good reason.
At least Brooks this one was ejected in a game that really mattered, not in a preseason game like last time.
