Kevin Durant addresses his ejection
Kevin Durant was tossed from Thursday’s loss to the Milwaukee Bucks and answered questions about it after the game.
Durant was upset that a foul was not called during his drive to the basket right before halftime with his Golden State Warriors trailing. As the team continued its possession, Durant went to confront the referee for not calling a foul.

Durant aggressively stalking the referee and cursing at him led to his ejection, which marked his fifth of the season.
After the game, Durant addressed the ejection and said it was a product of him being upset over two missed foul calls.

“I got fouled and I told him how I felt about it, and he kicked me out,” Durant said, in summation.
Durant had 10 points in 17 minutes. His ejection cost the Warriors, as they had to play the second half without him. The defeat officially locked the Warriors into the second spot in the Western Conference ahead of the playoffs.
