Marcus Morris has seemingly learned a valuable lesson: Don't touch an NBA official right after they eject you.
The Boston Celtics forward apologized Tuesday night on Twitter for his behavior late in Saturday's 110-99 win over the Toronto Raptors. After being assessed two technical fouls between free-throw attempts with just seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, Morris patted a referee on the butt and exited the floor at TD Garden.
Sorry @NBA for smacking the ref ass after getting ejected. I see other refs took offense to it. My apologies
