During the Warriors-Clippers game at Intuit Dome, Steve Kerr was ejected in the fourth quarter following a heated protest

Early in the fourth, Gary Payton II’s layup hit the backboard before John Collins swatted it away, but officials did not call goaltending.
Kerr reacted angrily on the sideline and then went off at the referees after a foul was whistled on Golden State.

Kerr was hit with two quick technical fouls and ejected with the Warriors trailing 81-74.
Assistant coach Terry Stotts took over from the bench as Kerr headed to the locker room.

After the game, crew chief Brian Forte acknowledged the officials missed the goaltending violation.
Forte also explained it could only have been reviewed if it had been called on the floor and challenged, since it happened outside the last two minutes.
