Chris Paul was hit with two technical fouls by official Scott Foster just before the end of the first half in the Phoenix Suns-Golden State Warriors game on Thursday night. And NBA fans know this isn’t the first time Foster and Paul have not seen eye to eye. 

Foster said, via a pool report, that Paul received his first technical for unsportsmanlike conduct before halftime. When a reporter asked what Paul had done to give him two technicals, leading to an automatic ejection, Foster said that he had "continued to complain and received a second unsportsmanlike technical foul."

The entire incident revolved around a foul on Paul against Kevin Durant, his ex-Suns teammate. The foul gave Durant free throws, and Paul went straight to Foster to hear his explanation about why a foul had been called.

Paul continued to talk as Durant was getting ready for his second free throw, and Foster blew the whistle and made the "T" with his hands. That action made Paul furious, and the second technical came right after.

Paul spoke about the situation post-game, saying that "it’s personal" between him and the long-time referee.
