"Clowns," he said of both players after the game. "Guys joking around. I mean, it's ridiculous, on both parts. I didn't like it, bottom line."
He said he was disappointed in Howard during his postgame press conference.
"It was a very selfish play," he said. "You’ve got one tech. You can’t get another one. We just have to have better discipline. I get it. There’s a lot of emotion, but we had one center on our team, and he got thrown out. I know there’s emotion, but he’s a veteran. Got to have better discipline."
