Kevin Durant ejected for 4th time this season, criticizes referee Williams: He was searching for me

Kevin Durant ejected again in win against Knicks

NBA


Kevin Durant has been ejected again.
The Warriors star was ejected for two technical fouls in win against the Knicks.
After the game KD, who ended the game with 14 points and 14 assists, criticized the referee James Williams.

Per ESPN, "Well, the first half, I was dribbling up the right side, and I made a left to right cross, and he said I carried," Durant said. "I kind of let that go. I asked him where he got the carry from. He said I froze the defender, and I said that's what the crossover is for, and that's why I do it, to freeze my defender.
"And he tried to make a bunch of excuses, and I told him he was wrong, and he went into halftime probably with an attitude. So, the second half, his whole thing is like he's trying to get me."
Williams hit Durant with his first technical foul in the third quarter, after Durant slammed the ball down in frustration, believing he had gotten a clean block at the rim on Knicks' big man Willy Hernangomez. However, Williams was actually calling the personal foul on Kevon Looney.
Late in the fourth, Durant drove to the basket and there was contact, but no call was made. He slowed to get back on defense. Draymond Green had to commit a quick foul to prevent a 5-on-4 advantage.
Once Durant made it past half court, he screamed, "Why the f--- that's not a foul?" at official Brett Nansel and began to stare him down while on defense.
Williams, not Nansel, issued the second technical that sent Durant to the showers early.
"Look at my first tech," Durant said. "I got the rebound, and I dribbled the ball hard, and he teched me up. He was searching for me. He was looking to try to tech me up to get me back because he's still in his feelings from the first half. That's what's been going on around the league the whole year. A bunch of that. I got to keep my head a little bit, but I was upset. I'm a human being, too. I get upset."
