The shot appeared to be incidental, as Cousins was attempting to strip James of the ball as the Lakers&#8217; star drove to the basket. However, the referees ruled that Cousins&#8217; wind-up and follow-through merited a flagrant 2 call and automatic ejection. Cousins has been ejected twice over the Rockets&#8217; last four games. He was called for two technical fouls in a span of two minutes, 53 seconds to get ejected in Monday&#8217;s loss to the Dallas Mavericks.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"715\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1NSjnvkZz9U\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I thought [Cousins] was sticking up for his teammate on the first part, the first technical, and I&#8217;ll support him 100% when he&#8217;s sticking up for his teammate,&#8221; Rockets coach Stephen Silas said. &#8220;He was sticking up for Jae&#8217;Sean. He wasn&#8217;t going to allow anything to happen to his rookie, and I think that&#8217;s admirable.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The [flagrant 2], when he hit LeBron in the face or whatever, that&#8217;s a judgment call. Or I don&#8217;t even know if it&#8217;s a judgment call; it comes from the replay booth. You&#8217;re just going to have to live with it. But him sticking up for his teammate shows a lot of who DeMarcus Cousins is.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Houston Rockets&#8217; DeMarcus Cousins, Los Angeles Lakers&#8217; Markieff Morris both ejected<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":145,"featured_media":194035,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_spbk_hide_featured":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[399],"tags":[],"rumors":[],"typology":[187],"posizionamento":[],"class_list":["post-194036","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nba","typology-video"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/01\/Schermata-2021-01-11-alle-12.32.06.png","digistream_id":0,"digistream":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/194036","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/145"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=194036"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/194036\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/194035"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=194036"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=194036"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=194036"},{"taxonomy":"rumors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rumors?post=194036"},{"taxonomy":"typology","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/typology?post=194036"},{"taxonomy":"posizionamento","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posizionamento?post=194036"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
