Hunter not getting ejected here is ridiculous. The Pacers aren't going to take this lying down.

Thought the refs in the earlier game today were embarrassing enough.

Mathurin needed this. He is a dirty player and I hope he learns from it.

NBA was perfectly cool with Strus pulling this, but eject Mathurin?
Absolute joke of a league.
I'd say congrats to the Cavs, but they didn't earn ****, the NBA is gifting them the win.

Finally!
Also no one has gotten ejected for a shove. Mathurin punched Hunter so is prob gonna be out for game 5 too.
It’s just great to see him get tossed after trying to look like he was so smart baiting Hunter into retaliating.

If Mathurin is dirty then so is Hunter.

How many players are ejected for a shove? You typically get a technical for that. Mathurin threw a punch and that is why he was ejected.

I have no problem with a flagrant 1 on Mathurin but 2 is a stretch considering what we've seen so far in these playoffs.

That was very Draymond-esque of Mathurin.
