DALLAS (AP) -Golden State guard Baron Davis was ejected with 0.2 seconds left in the third quarter of Game 2 against Dallas on Wednesday night after picking up his second technical foul.
Davis got his first technical midway through the third quarter for harsh words to Mavericks guard Jason Terry. Their jawing nearly led to a skirmish and did result in technical fouls against Terry and Golden State’s Stephen Jackson.
Davis picked up two personal fouls early in the game, but didn’t have another until the third quarter. He got two only minutes apart after the technical, then got his fifth personal for a mid-air collision while defending Dallas’ Jerry Stackhouse in the final second of the quarter.
Davis jumped up angrily and teammate Al Harrington grabbed the waistband of his pants, stretching it to pull him back in hopes of calming him down. He ended up going over to the bench, smiling and clapping. Coach Don Nelson motioned for him to calm down, even saying, “Don’t do that,” but it was too late. Official Bennett Salvatore hit Davis with his second technical, an automatic ejection.
Davis left with 13 points, two assists and one rebound, and the Warriors trailing 87-74. He had 33 points, 14 rebounds and eight assists in a Game 1 victory.
