PHOENIX — Add another incident to the long-lived conflict between Golden State Warriors guard Chris Paul and referee Scott Foster as Paul was ejected from Wednesday night's game against the Phoenix Suns after Foster slapped him with two quick technical fouls.
This was Paul's seventh career ejection. With 23 seconds left in the first half, Phoenix forward Kevin Durant drew contact from Paul, which the 6-foot-1 guard vehemently disagreed with.
As Durant lined up to shoot his free throws, Paul continuously chirped at Foster, the crew chief for the night. It didn't take long before Foster assessed his first technical foul on Paul.
And seconds later, he hit him with his second — ejecting him from the game. Paul finished the night with six points and six assists.
