Washington Wizards head coach Scott Brooks was ejected after receiving two technical fouls arguing a questionable no-call by the referees in the fourth quarter against the Toronto Raptors.
The Wizards trailed by 10 midway through the fourth when Bradley Beal was called for a foul despite Serge Ibaka initiating the contact.

Washington forced a miss on the ensuing possession leading to a fast break by John Wall, who appeared to be tripped by a Raptors defender. However, the referees were out of position and no call was made as Wall fell out of bounds for a Wizards turnover.
The no-call triggered a series of events that saw Beal receive a technical foul for arguing either the no-call on Wall’s drive or the previous foul on himself. That sparked a frustrated Brooks to lay into the referees receiving two technicals and the ejection.
