Cavs survive James’ ejection
LeBron James’s first career ejection was just a blip in his Cleveland Cavaliers’ ninth straight victory on Tuesday — a 108-97 home triumph over the Miami Heat.
Kevin Love was red-hot, scoring 38 points to lead the Cavs as James lost his cool and was tossed for the first time in 1,082 regular-season games.
James, convinced he was fouled on a drive to the basket, made a beeline for referee Kane Fitzgerald, shouting angrily.
Fitzgerald quickly whistled the superstar for a technical foul and then pointed to the exit with 1:59 left in the third quarter. “I got fouled,” James said. “I showed my frustration to the ref and he sent me to the locker room.”
Fitzgerald, in his ninth NBA season, told a pool reporter the decision was “a culmination of a couple different acts.
“Immediately after the no-call, he turned and threw an air punch directly at me and then he aggressively charged at me and then he used vulgarity in my ear a few times,” Fitzgerald said.
