De’Andre Hunter SHOVES Bennedict Mathurin to ground for punch and Mathurin gets ejected

Donovan Mitchell back onto the floor after a very brief rest at the 432 mark of the quarter. And John goal gets Sam Merrill and DeAndre Hunter. But look out. Turner comes to the defense of Matan. Boy, you can see something brewing between those two the other night and that has spilled in and over here to game four. It is definitely getting chippy and and this is important to keep your head. We talk about the postseason being about who handles adversity best. Bottom left of your picture, boy, you can see Hunter. Boy, this going to be an interesting decision by the officials. Yeah, I I have seen players thrown out for less. And here’s Oh, right there. Right at the right of your picture. It’s under review. No doubt the officials will go back and see that part of the play. Those two were hit with double technicals the other night. They were jawing at each other. This was early in the series. Opening game, the hard collision. Math stepping over Hunter when he came down and injured that thumb. This was the other night. Quick double technicals. The joining Mark Davis quickly trying to diffuse the situation. So that thing has been boiling over right from the start of this series. And it’s going to be interesting to see how the officials view this cuz those are actually with malice is generally how you would look at it. Then you got Miles Turner coming over the shove from the back coming to the defense of his teammate. And you would expect that they’re going to go cuz you pointed it out. There was an initial fracus underneath the basket in that possession that led to Hunter retaliating. Rick Carile had to be held back by his assistants. He started drawing at the officials just now. Again, our crew tonight, John Goal, Kevin Scott, Curtis Blair, Brent Barnicki is our alternate. And in the replay center, Justin Van Dy and Zack Zar tonight. [Applause] Again, Hunter took contact right there. That kind of a little bit of a a I don’t want to say a punch, but the extension of the right arm from Matin. DeAndre Hunter is a pretty mildmannered guy. For him to respond like that, you knew there something had to happen. But even if something happens, if you’re DeAndre Hunter, you can’t respond like that. After the personal foul, there’s a dead ball contact by Matin where he extends a close-handed fist into the sternum of Hunter. He’s being assessed a playground foul penalty too for this act. Hunter is being assessed a technical foul for the push to Matin and a technical foul on Turner as well. Benson passes over the basketball. So Benedict Matin flagrant two is ejected and technicals assessed to both DeAndre Hunter and that they’re deeming that a punch and this is retaliation. I I will say I’m shocked that they didn’t eject Hunter, but what a huge break there for the Cleveland Cavs. Yeah, that last replay we showed they clearly extended there. [Applause] That’s the Andre Hunter looking in the direction of Benedict Matthew to the announcement. We documented it. They have had issue all series long and that’s part of what happens. You know, these are divisional rivals. There’s a history between these two organizations, but that’s also a significant loss if you’re Rick Carlile and the Pacers. Benedict Mathan starter, 48 games this year, averaged better than 16 points per game. Such a huge loss now for Rick Carile. Remember, Matin missed their postseason run to the conference finals last year with that shoulder injury.
