VIDEO: Garnett ejected for headbutt on Dwight Howard
Brooklyn Nets forward/center Kevin Garnett is known to be emotional. Houston Rockets center Dwight Howard should know this.
In the first quarter on Monday, Garnett headbutted Howard after tossing the ball at him.
Garnett was ejected - he was issued a technical foul and a personal foul. Howard was assessed one technical.
It's safe to say Garnett was upset. Watch him react to Howard following the incident.
Garnett might be hearing from the league office on Tuesday, and it's possible that Howard will as well, given his swing at KG.
Following the game, an easy 113-99 Rockets' win, Houston coach Kevin McHale yearned for the old days.
McHale on Dwight-KG altercation: "In the good old days, that was a play on. Now, they throw people out. I didn't think it was a big deal."
