Orlando Magic on Tuesday night.The Hawks guard helped orchestrate a rally from a 22-point first-half deficit to get within 3 points in the 3rd quarter. But the game slipped from Atlanta’s grasp in the fourth, and Young responded by taunting several referees. He tossed the ball at one, then kicked it away from another, earning 2 quick technical fouls and an ejection.Hawks, Young melt down The game ran out hand when

Young got tossed. Young nutmegged Wendell Carter Jr., then scored a worthless layup that cut Orlando’s result in 107-87 with 4:50 staying. Young then fired the ball at referee James Williams on the baseline, making a fast technical foul.Advertisement Williams then advanced the dead ball into the front court to

referee Pat Fraher for the Magic’s technical nasty shot. However Young obstructed the pass and kicked it towards the sideline away from Fraher.This, of course, drew Young’s 2nd technical and an ejection.But Young wasn’t done. He picked up the ball and faked passing it to Fraher before playing keep-away with a crossover dribble.

He then lastly yielded his ejection by faltering behind him on his method to the tunnel.Video from the TNT broadcast partly tells the story. But it’s obscured by replay breakaways. Undisturbed video from a fan in the nosebleeds paints the full

picture.Young was walking down court after his very first technical, then jumped to kick the ball away from Fraher as soon as he saw it coming in his direction.Ref: Young made’ a mockery of the game’Both technicals were certainly necessitated.

unsportsmanlike technical nasty for tossing the ball at a game authorities,”Williams said.As for the 2nd?” He received his second unsportsmanlike technical nasty for kicking the ball away and making a mockery of the game as we were trying to shoot the complimentary throw for the very first technical nasty, and by guideline when the player gets 2 unsportsmanlike fouls he’s ejected from the game,” Williams continued.A “mockery of the game.”That’s a concise assessment.
